This bill would change how certain oil and gas drilling costs are treated for some tax calculations. In simple terms, it would let companies count intangible drilling and development costs, along with certain related depreciation and depletion expenses, when figuring out adjusted financial statement income for the corporate minimum tax rules. Supporters say this could help encourage more domestic energy production by making the tax rules more favorable for drilling activity.

  • It changes a part of the Internal Revenue Code that deals with adjusted financial statement income, which is used in figuring some corporate tax obligations.
  • The bill says this income should be reduced by certain deductions tied to property depreciation and to intangible drilling and development costs, as long as those deductions are already allowed for tax purposes.
  • It also tells tax rules to ignore certain expenses shown on a company’s financial statements, including depreciation and depletion linked to those drilling costs.
  • The changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

Official Summaries

Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act

This bill allows corporations to reduce their adjusted financial statement income to account for certain intangible costs related to oil, gas, or geothermal well drilling and development for purposes of calculating the corporate alternative minimum tax.

Under current law, a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax is imposed on a corporation with adjusted financial statement income exceeding an average of $1 billion for a consecutive three-year period (or an average of $100 million for a U.S. corporation that is part of a foreign parent multinational group if the adjusted financial statement income of such group exceeds an average of $1 billion for a consecutive three-year period). Adjusted financial statement income generally is the net income or loss reported on the corporation’s applicable financial statement for a tax year, with adjustments for specific items.

This bill expands the reductions that may be made to a corporation’s adjusted financial statement income to include (1) intangible drilling and development costs incurred by an operator of a domestic oil, gas, or geothermal well that are allowed as a deduction in the current tax year when computing regular taxable income; and (2) any depletion expenses related to the intangible oil, gas, or geothermal well drilling and development costs.
