MPF Part II Guidance Notes - For Ratification (1)
Pillar II – Financial Benefits Introduction Pillar II of the MPF focuses on designing and administering mining fiscal regimes, as well as on distributing the financial benefits therefrom, in a way that maximizes the value to society of the resources mined and supports the sustainable development of the nation. For this Pillar, the term “fiscal regime” includes all mandatory payments to the government, such as mineral royalties, income taxes, import and export duties, VAT, and other levies, as well as commercial interests from which governments derive revenue. This often includes state equity in mining projects, production-sharing or other contractual arrangements, or direct operational involvement from state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Financial benefits, specifically revenues, are widely considered a primary benefit of resource extraction. Governments are responsible for creating and implementing a robust fiscal regime. This requires balancing the goal of optimizing government revenues with other policy goals such as attracting investment. As part of delivering on the sustainable development agenda, revenues must be collected and distributed in a manner that benefits present and future generations. This requires a strong macro-fiscal framework supported by strong institutions that defines what proportion of revenues are saved or spent, how they are spent, and how the savings are managed. 9 In addition, governments must ensure revenues are equitably distributed, including to host communities, and that investors conduct their operations in accordance with national laws and international good practices. This places importance not only on the regimes or systems that secure these revenues, but also on the administrative capacity to do so, including comprehensive disclosure of information across the mining value chain.
