MPF Part II Guidance Notes - For Ratification (1)
2.2 Fiscal Regime Administration
2.2.1 Ensure that government officials have the technical capacity to effectively administer the fiscal regime. • Government officials should ensure the administration of the fiscal regime have the technical competencies, qualifications, training, and access to resources needed to: o Understand and interpret mining tax laws and regulations. o Undertake complex transfer pricing audits, which often require long and complex investigations. Refer to IMF’s Administering Fiscal Regimes for Extractive Industries: A Handbook. 2.2.2 Implement the necessary administrative mechanisms to monitor the value and volume of minerals produced and exported. • Government should investigate the risk of mining entities deliberately undervaluing their mineral exports prior to deciding on the appropriate policy response. • Government should invest equal resources on mineral sampling and mineral testing. • If the risk of undervaluation is low (e.g., for minerals widely traded globally with transparent price indices) and if the mining entity has quality controls that comply with international standards – such as the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code or the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (The SAMREC Code) 2016 Edition – the government can monitor the mining entity’s internal export valuation processes rather than undertake direct measurement. • If the mining entity cannot prove that its sampling and mineral testing accord with international standard, an independent assessor should be contracted and paid by the mining entity. • Government should have a mineral laboratory and it should comply with international standards. Refer to the IGF/OECD’s practice note Monitoring the Value of Mineral Exports: Policy options for governments . 2.2.3 Ensure coordination between government agencies responsible for implementing the fiscal regime. • Regardless of the government agency or division (e.g., audit, legal, risk assessment) to which they belong, mining and tax government specialists should work together to ensure coordination and implementation of the fiscal regime. • Clear roles and responsibilities of those involved in the administration of the fiscal regime for the purpose of cooperating or exchanging information should be defined (e.g., in a Memorandum of Understanding). • At a minimum, exchange of information between agencies should include: o Mining taxpayer identification numbers o Changes of licence interests o Areas in which mining holders are operating 11 o Determining if these are ring-fenced and/or subject to the terms of special mining contracts.
