Krasnoyarsk Territory). The zero rate applies until the cumulative volume of oil production reaches 25 mln tons, or the development
period exceeds 10 or 15 years depending on the license type. The same tax benefit is available for highviscosity oil. Also,
progressively lower tax rates is set for fields with exhaustion levels higher than 80% (will be applied after development of appli
