Crown Royalty Practice

Ryan’s oil and gas professionals utilize creativity, technical expertise, and a critical knowledge of government regulatory and compliance procedures to significantly reduce our client’s Crown royalty liability. Leveraging years of experience addressing similar complex State severance tax issues in the United States, Ryan provides a proven, full-service approach to minimizing Canadian Crown royalty liabilities.

Our process includes extensive offsite research and due diligence to target specific incentive and Gas Cost Allowable (GCA) credit opportunities available to the client, well before the engagement begins. Central to our methodology is the exact pinpointing of every opportunity – right down to the lease, the parties on the lease, facilities involved, and the time periods affected – leaving nothing unexplored.

We identify all properties and facilities that could qualify for an incentive or deduction. We use read-only access of the client’s compliance filings to determine what had been previously reported, and conduct an extensive secondary review to ensure that all available opportunities have been maximized. Once opportunities have been identified and verified, we prepare the claim with support and appropriate documentation acceptable to both our client and the provincial authorities.

Ryan does the majority of the work off-site, requiring minimal client participation by utilizing current client records and information readily available in the public forum. As a result, the project is completely unobtrusive. After each engagement, we provide strategic recommendations for process enhancements that will minimize future Crown royalty liabilities.
