Mali’s gold sector is an enclave with weak forward and backward linkages with the rest of the economy. Given the predominance of the fiscal transmission channel, it is important that the design of the mineral tax regime gives the state a fair share of the benefits. Using optimal control theory, this paper estimates that the optimal royalty tax in Mali is about 3.5 percent. By reducing the royalty rate from 6 percent to 3 percent, Mali’s mining code broadly ensures that the risk is shared between the state and mining companies, provides sufficient incentives to attract new exploration, and is comparable to the fiscal regimes in other sub-Saharan African countries in its mix of tax instruments and tax structure.
Excerpt from Mine Taxation in the United States The mineral industry of the United States had an output which was valued by the United States Geological Survey at two billion four hundred million dollars in 1913 and at two billion one hundred thousand dollars in The average value per annum during the period 1909 to 1914 was approximately two billion one hundred million dollars. A large amount of capital is invested in the industry and in certain communities the mines comprise the principal form of wealth. In such districts and in those states in which mining is one of the leading industries the problem of the taxation of mines and of mineral lands has become of great importance. During the last decade considerable attention has been directed to this subject by the taxing bodies of a number of states, and important legislation directly affecting the problem has been enacted in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and in a number of the Rocky Mountain states.

This book examines existing mineral fiscal policies covering income taxation, royalties, free carried and participative (community and government) interests and also highlights the impacts of these policies on the feasibility of mineral projects as well as on revenue and other benefits to the State. While publications already exist on the subject matter, they have invariably approached the topic primarily from a Government standpoint rather than the mining industry. This book aims to provide a balance in this debate by comparing the financial outcomes gained or foregone by both Government and industry under different policy regimes. The discussions are supported by quantitative examples to more clearly articulate the potential outcomes and better inform future fiscal policy decisions.
