ACG and Shah Deniz forecast positive income tax growth this year: Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project income tax forecast at 280 million manats (75.7%), while Shah Deniz's is expected to increase by 325 million manats (20.2%). This is due to a rise in the average export price of "Azeri Light" crude oil to 75 USD, up from 60 USD. Consequently, 43.7% or 2 billion manats of tax revenues in the oil and gas sector are taxes on State Oil.
