CS 18: Value of loan treated as fund income
or “Old rule about loans counting as fund income no longer applies”

You could also call this:

“Rules for taxing money from selling mining materials or assets”

When you, as a petroleum miner, sell exploratory material, the money you get from that sale is counted as your income.

If you sell a petroleum mining asset, the money you get from that sale is also counted as your income.

However, there are some exceptions to these rules. If you’re involved in a farm-out arrangement for mining operations, a different rule applies. You can find more information about this in section CX 43.

Also, there’s a special rule for certain petroleum storage facilities. This rule changes how the sale of these facilities is treated for income purposes. You can read more about this in section CZ 32.
