No. 88-321.

771 S.W.2d 24 (1989)

299 Ark. 100

Jim C. PLEDGER, Commissioner of Revenues, Appellant, v. ETHYL CORPORATION, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

June 5, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Phillip Raia, Little Rock, for appellant.

William J. Wynne, El Dorado, for appellee.


HAYS, Justice.

Arkansas levies a severance tax on each producer of natural resources. The rate of tax on oil is 5% of the market value at the time and place of severance, unless the average monthly production of oil is ten barrels or less per day per well. In the latter event the rate is 4%. The lower rate is intended to maximize the recovery of oil, including the stimulation of secondary recovery efforts where oil production is only marginally economical.
