State revenue forecast
Using the DEA’s five-year forecast of production and associated costs, the Ministry of Taxation prepares an estimate of the development in state revenue on the basis of different oil price scenarios. These scenarios are merely intended to illustrate the sensitivity of revenue to oil price fluctuations and do not reflect the expected oil price development.
The future estimates of corporate income tax and hydrocarbon tax payments are subject to uncertainty, including with respect to oil prices, production volumes, the dollar exchange rate and the companies’ finance costs.
Forecast of investments and costs
For the period 2015-2019, investments and costs are expected to total about DKK 51 billion. Investments consist of expenditures for exploration and field developments, while costs break down into transportation and operating costs.
