"Under the AKLNG project, this would also apply to incremental revenue from the project. So we assume that about two-thirds of the upstream oil and gas production associated with AKLNG would be subject to corporate income tax. Um, this pass-through entity tax would apply to that remaining one-third of production. We assume that the midstream operator is not subject to corporate income tax. And so this pass-through entity tax would also apply to the midstream operator under our modeling."

State economist: even with tax breaks, the gas line barely works
State economist Dan Stickel told a legislative conference committee Friday that the Senate version of HB 381 reduces the Alaska LNG export break-even price from $9.05 to $8.62 per thousand cubic feet — still above current futures market prices near $8 — prompting Rep. Justin Ruffridge to say the project simply "doesn't work."
