Is Exxonmobil Depriving The US Treasury Of Tax Revenues?

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. Feb. 17, 2025: The U.S. Foreign Tax Credit, (FTC), is designed to prevent double taxation by allowing individuals and corporations to offset taxes paid to foreign governments against their U.S. tax obligations. However, there is compelling evidence that ExxonMobil and its affiliates obtain tax certificates issued by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) without actually paying taxes in Guyana. The Oil and Gas Governance Network Guyana (OGGN) suspects that these tax certificates may be used to claim illegitimate FTCs from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), potentially depriving the U.S. Treasury of billions of dollars in tax revenues.

Guyana’s Taxation Arrangement with ExxonMobil
Under the 2016 Petroleum Agreement (PA) between the Government of Guyana and ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL), a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, Hess Corporation, and China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC), the government agreed to pay the oil companies’ taxes from Guyana’s share of oil revenue. Specifically:
• Article 15.4 of the PA states that the Minister responsible for Petroleum will pay taxes on behalf of the Contractor (ExxonMobil and affiliates) and that this sum will be considered the Contractor’s income.
• Article 15.5 specifies that the Minister will ensure that the GRA issues tax receipts and certificates confirming these payments.
As a result, rather than paying corporate income taxes directly, ExxonMobil and its affiliates, benefit from Guyana’s tax payments, amounting to Tax Certificates issued to the value of approximately USD 2.8 billion from 2020 to 2023 (Table 1; adapted from Ref. 3, 1 USD = 208.5 GYD). This practice means that 78% of Guyana’s total oil revenues (USD 3.6 billion) were earmarked to cover taxes on behalf of foreign corporations. This leaves Guyana’s net share of total oil sales in real terms at a meager USD 0.8 billion (3.2% of Total Oil Revenue).

Legal and Financial Concerns
The central issue is whether ExxonMobil and its affiliates use these tax certificates to claim U.S. FTCs without actually paying foreign taxes. If so, this practice could violate U.S. tax laws, particularly:
• 26 U.S. Code §901: Credit for taxes paid to foreign countries – This provision requires that foreign taxes be “actually paid or accrued” to qualify for U.S. tax credits.
• IRS regulations on economic substance (26 U.S. Code §701(o)) – Transactions must have economic substance beyond tax benefits.
Given that ExxonMobil and its affiliates do in effect not remit taxes to the Guyanese government, their ability to claim FTCs under these statutes is highly questionable.
It could be argued that the tax arrangement is legal under Guyana’s 2016 PA and that it is standard practice in the oil and gas industry. However, the IRS has strict guidelines requiring that tax payments be actual and compulsory, rather than merely recorded in agreements. Furthermore, there are no public records confirming that the Government of Guyana has remitted these tax payments to the GRA, making the tax certificates issued to ExxonMobil and its affiliates potentially misleading.

Conclusions and recommendations
The tax arrangement for ExxonMobil and its affiliates as outlined in the 2016 PA is an outlier; other companies in Guyana do not receive similar benefits. Given these facts, OGGN, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in New York, United States, urges the US authorities to:

Initiate a formal investigation into ExxonMobil’s use of tax certificates issued under Guyana’s 2016 PA.

Request IRS review of whether ExxonMobil’s claimed FTCs comply with U.S. tax laws.

Hold hearings or introduce legislation to prevent similar arrangements from depriving the U.S. Treasury of revenue in the future.
The potential loss to U.S. taxpayers over the 40-year duration of the PA could amount to tens of billions of dollars. Ensuring tax fairness is critical to upholding transparency and corporate accountability.

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, New York, NY, February 19, 2025: Elon Musk may fast becoming one of the most disliked men in the world among liberals, but The Bahamas is celebrating Musk’s company SpaceX as it officially allowed them to make history as the first international destination to welcome a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster landing.

At approximately 6:29 PM ET on February 18, the reusable rocket from SpaceX successfully touched down on an autonomous droneship off the coast of The Exumas, marking a monumental moment for both space exploration and Bahamian tourism.

This historic achievement is just the beginning. SpaceX reportedly will make 19 more landings in The Bahamas, solidifying the country’s role in the future of space tourism and STEM education.

A New Era for The Bahamas

A delegation of Bahamian officials, led by Prime Minister Phillip E. Davis and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation Chester Cooper, gathered at Cape Eleuthera Resort and Marina to witness the event firsthand. The successful landing not only highlights the growing global interest in space travel but also showcases The Bahamas as a hub for innovation, tourism, and scientific advancement.

“This historic feat positions our nation as a global leader in space tourism and technological progress,” said Prime Minister Davis. “Yesterday’s rocket landing reaffirmed that The Bahamas is not just a destination of beauty, but also of limitless possibilities in exploration and discovery.”

Deputy Prime Minister Cooper echoed the sentiment, calling the event a “launchpad for Bahamian tourism, economic growth, and education.” He added, “Space tourism is here. Innovation is here. The future is here in The Bahamas.”

International Collaboration & STEM Advancement

The event was also attended by former NASA scientist and STEMBoard Founder & CEO Aisha Bowe, whose work has been instrumental in establishing space protocols in The Bahamas. SpaceX has committed to donating $1 million to the University of The Bahamas to advance STEM education, inspiring young Bahamians to pursue careers in science and technology.

A New Frontier in Space Tourism

With the success of this first landing and 19 more planned, The Bahamas is poised to become a premier destination for space tourism. The partnership with SpaceX not only elevates the nation’s status in aerospace innovation but also opens new doors for economic growth, job creation, and technological development.

As the world watched this groundbreaking event unfold, The Bahamas has officially staked its claim as a leader in space exploration and futuristic travel experiences—blending natural beauty with cutting-edge innovation.

Probe Reveals Usain Bolt’s Missing Millions Were Stolen Before Reaching SSL

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, New York, NY, February 19, 2025: A high-level probe into the missing $12 million investment of Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt has revealed that a significant portion of his funds never made it into his account at Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL).

Jamaican Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, seen here during a photo session as he launches a new brand of electric scooters named “Bolt” in Paris, on May 15, 2019, has lost millions to fraud in Jamaica.

According to Nationwide News Network (NNN), forensic investigators – including UK-based Kroll Associates – discovered that Bolt’s principal investment was stolen before ever reaching SSL, exposing a deeper level of fraud than previously suspected.

Reports indicate that Bolt’s management team was deceived with falsified invoices and account statements, allegedly sent by Jean-Ann Panton, the former SSL employee now facing multiple fraud charges. These fabricated documents misled Bolt’s team into believing that his investment was secure and growing, when in reality, the funds had been siphoned off before being deposited into an SSL account.

The revelation casts doubt on Bolt’s chances of recovering his money, as investigators now question the full extent of the scheme and the likelihood of restitution.

Meanwhile, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is still awaiting further documentation from the Financial Investigations Division (FID) to determine whether additional individuals from SSL will face criminal charges. These documents are expected to provide crucial evidence in assessing the depth of the fraud and identifying other possible perpetrators.

Jean-Ann Panton, who has allegedly confessed to orchestrating fraudulent activities at SSL for years, remains before the court. Following the scandal, Bolt dismissed a member of his management team who was responsible for overseeing his SSL investments.

In a recent appearance on the podcast ‘The Fix’, Bolt voiced his frustration with the slow progress of the investigation, urging the Jamaican Government to take greater action in facilitating the return of his missing funds.

With these latest findings, Bolt’s fight to reclaim his stolen millions remains uncertain, as authorities and investigators continue to unravel the full scope of the fraud.

Exxon Mobil To Expand Natural Gas Development In Guyana

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, New York, NY, February 19, 2025: U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil has unveiled plans to expand natural gas production and supply in the South American CARICOM nation of Guyana, responding to the government’s push for more gas to power onshore energy and petrochemical projects.

Announced at the Guyana Energy Conference in Georgetown, the Wales Gas Vision aims to support industrial growth by delivering gas through a $1 billion pipeline completed last year. Exxon’s Guyana head, Alistair Routledge, outlined the initiative, which will supply gas for power generation and petrochemical production.

The Guyana government will receive a portion of the gas from Exxon’s Stabroek Block, while U.S.-based Fulcrum LNG will develop an offshore gas processing and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility.

According to Guyana Energy Minister Vickram Bharrat, Exxon may construct additional pipelines to transport profit gas—the government’s share – to Fulcrum LNG’s plant. The facility will enable LNG exports and gas supply to Berbice for fertilizer and alumina production.

While total investment figures remain undisclosed, Bharrat emphasized that Guyana has sufficient gas resources for commercial projects. The country is set to launch a national gas strategy this year as it moves toward a diversified energy mix.

Exxon, alongside partners Hess Corporation and China’s CNOOC, is expected to ramp up gas output through upcoming projects, including Longtail, which could produce 1.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of gas. A final investment decision on Longtail is expected in 2026.

Routledge reaffirmed Exxon’s commitment, stating the company is “ready to deliver gas” to shore. Meanwhile, the group’s fourth floating oil production facility, built by SBM Offshore, is set to begin operations in the third quarter of 2025.

With natural gas emerging as a key component of Guyana’s energy future, these developments are expected to drive economic growth, expand industrial capabilities, and establish the country as a regional energy powerhouse.

Cuba Pushes Solar Energy To Tackle Worsening Blackout Crisis

News Americas, New York, NY, Fri. Feb. 21, 2025: As the Donald Trump administration dials back on renewable energy and restored sanctions on Cuba, the Caribbean nation is ramping up efforts to combat its crippling power outages by expanding its renewable energy sector, aiming to install 55 solar parks by the end of the year to generate 1,200 megawatts of electricity. The move is expected to increase Cuba’s renewable energy output from 5% to 12% as the country struggles with an aging power infrastructure and fuel shortages.

The first of these solar parks, developed in collaboration with China, went online last Friday, with another set to follow next week. President Miguel Díaz-Canel praised the new facility, calling it “a beauty” and highlighting its role in reducing daytime blackouts in Havana.

Cuba’s electricity crisis stems from its outdated thermoelectric plants, many in operation since the 1980s and 1990s, frequent breakdowns, and reliance on Venezuelan oil. The country has also leased floating power plants from Turkey and uses generators fueled by crude oil -which it struggles to afford – to supplement supply.

Earlier this month, schools and businesses were forced to close for two days as electricity supply fell to half of national demand. By 2030, Cuba aims to generate over a third of its electricity from renewable sources like solar.

News Americas, New York, NY, February 24, 2025: Spanish hotel giant Palladium Hotel Group is making a major investment in Jamaica, with a massive €500 million, (J$85 billion), expansion project set to transform the island’s tourism landscape. The development, which will add 950 new luxury rooms and 600 houses for tourism workers, was hailed by the country’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, as a resounding vote of confidence in Jamaica’s economy and the government’s ASPIRE growth agenda.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony in Hanover, Jamaica recently, Holness underscored the strategic importance of the project, noting that it reflects Jamaica’s economic resilience and attractiveness to foreign investors.

“For the past decade, Jamaica has focused on fiscal consolidation and debt reduction. The scale and speed of our economic turnaround have no parallel among developing nations. The fact that Spain’s Palladium Hotel Group is investing at this level is a strong endorsement of Jamaica’s stability and potential,” Holness said.

Spain’s Continued Investment in Jamaica’s Tourism Industry

The Palladium Hotel Group has been a key player in Jamaica’s thriving tourism industry, and this expansion further solidifies Spain’s deep-rooted investment in the island. Holness extended gratitude to the Spanish government and investors, highlighting Spain’s €2 billion portfolio in Jamaica’s tourism sector.

The expansion will not only increase Jamaica’s hotel capacity but also contribute significantly to local job creation and economic linkages. Minister of Tourism Hon. Edmund Bartlett emphasized that every major tourism investment must now include housing and integration with the local economy, ensuring that Jamaicans benefit directly from the sector’s growth.

The expansion will introduce a state-of-the-art convention center capable of hosting over 1,000 guests, positioning Jamaica as a top destination for business and leisure tourism. Additionally, the development will feature:

Sustainable and energy-efficient building designs
Educational initiatives and skill development programs for local residents
Enhanced tourism experiences with a focus on high-end hospitality

President of the Palladium Hotel Group, Abel Matutes Prats, expressed excitement about the project and its potential impact on Jamaica’s economy and global tourism appeal.
