General Reporting Instructions
For
Oil and Gas Taxes
WHO MUST FILE
Producer/Operator/In-Kind Interest (collectively producer):
The producer is required to file a monthly oil and/or gas report on a producing property unless they have been granted a waiver of the
requirement to file by the Tax Commissioner (Commissioner). To request and be granted a waiver, a producer must complete a waiver
form and submit it to the Commissioner for approval (see Exhibits). If a producer has been granted a waiver, the producer agrees that:
The purchaser/processor (collectively purchaser) will report and pay all tax due on forms prescribed by the
Commissioner.
All tax due on production and sales of oil or gas, not subject to the purchaser’s monthly reporting, must be reported
and paid by the producer.
Production and sales information must be remitted by the producer on a timely basis to the North Dakota Industrial
Commission (N.D.I.C.).
The producer must continue to maintain production and sales records for inspection by the Commissioner and must
respond in a timely manner to all requests for information.
The purchaser’s reports filed for the producer’s wells will determine the statutory dates within which the
Commissioner must assess additional tax found due or the purchaser must file for a refund of a tax overpayment (see
Statute of Limitations).
The producer will provide the producer’s valid Federal Identification Number to the purchaser for use in the reporting
of purchased interests.
The operator of a well is required to submit Schedule T-82 to notify the Commissioner when production is taken in-kind from a well. An
updated Schedule T-82 needs to be submitted when take-in-kind ownership or percentages change (see Exhibits).
Purchaser:
The purchaser is required to file a monthly oil and/or gas report for purchases from a producing property.
For processed gas, the purchaser of gas delivered to a processing plant must file a monthly report. For unprocessed gas, the pipeline
company into whose possession the gas is delivered must file a monthly report.
A purchaser, who recovers condensate from a gas stream after the custody transfer meter, but before processing at a gas plant, must file
a monthly oil report. Instructions for reporting are included in this booklet.
Oil Reclaimer:
Entities selling reclaimed oil must file a monthly oil report. Instructions for reporting are included in this booklet.
