FINANCIAL IMPACT
On the basis of current world oil prices, it is unlikely that any petroleum resource rent tax revenue will be received before the 1989-90 financial year. The amount of revenue in any year is inestimable due to the continuing fluctuations in world oil prices and the uncertainty inherent in offshore petroleum exploration.
