How To Report the Low-Producing Well Exemption (Exempt Type 11)

If a report period is eligible for the low-producing well exemption:

• For the producer report, report Fields 1 through 21.
• For the purchaser report, report Fields 1 through 19 for the commodities of raw gas, lease use, residue and products.

In the "Net Taxable Value" field for the producer and purchaser reports, to determine the tax due amount for the lease:

1. Multiply the “Net Taxable Value” field by the appropriate percentage.
2. Enter the reduced amount in the “Net Taxable Value” field.
3. Multiply the “Net Taxable Value” field by 7.5 percent.

Value amounts were not previously reported for a commodity:
