uin	123541
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2018 answer text <p>At the Autumn Budget, the government announced it would introduce a transferable tax history for UK exploration and production companies. This is not a tax cut: it is designed to level the playing field between companies established in the sector and new entrants. It will do this by giving those new entrants certainty that tax relief will be available on their decommissioning costs. This measure is consistent with the UK’s existing carbon reduction commitments.</p><p> </p><p>The government is committed to tackling climate change and is a world leader in reducing emissions, having done so faster than any other G7 nation. The latest Energy and Emissions Projections Report shows that the UK remains on track to meet its carbon reduction targets.
