Withdrawal of additional revenues from LNG producers is planned due to an increase in the profit tax on gas production and sales, a source familiar with the text of the proposals of the Ministry of Finance told Interfax. The export duty on LNG for Novatek's Yamal LNG project is complicated by an intergovernmental agreement with China whose companies are participants in the project. The profit tax rate in the YNAO has now been reduced from 18% to 13.5%.
