End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act of 2021

This bill limits or repeals certain fossil fuel oil and gas subsidies for oil companies. Specifically, it

  • increases to seven years the amortization period for geological and geophysical expenditures;
  • repeals the tax credits for producing oil and gas from marginal wells and for enhanced oil recovery;
  • repeals the tax deduction for the intangible drilling and development costs of oil and gas wells;
  • repeals percentage depletion;
  • repeals the tax deduction for tertiary injectant expenses;
  • repeals the passive loss exception for working interests in oil and gas property;
  • denies the tax deduction for income attributable to domestic production activities for oil and gas activities;
  • prohibits the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) accounting method by major integrated oil companies;
  • limits the foreign tax credit for dual capacity taxpayers (i.e., taxpayers who are subject to a levy of a foreign country or U.S. possession and receive specific economic benefits from such country or possession); and
  • expands the definition of crude oil for purposes of the excise tax on petroleum and petroleum products to include any oil derived from a bitumen or bituminous mixture (tar sands), and any oil derived from kerogen-bearing sources (oil shale).
