▪ Number of tax instalments increased to ten from six per year, with no payment in January and July
79 1) New process for tax payments: Tax for the year is paid in ten monthly instalments plus a final settlement in Q4 following year. First payment in August, and no payment in January and July. Initial tax estimate for the year is made in Q2, the H2-instalments are then fixed in NOK. Option for voluntary addition payment will be spread over three instalments (September, October and November) – normally only relevant if initial estimate was too low. At year-end, the upcoming five instalments (Feb-June) may be adjusted to reflect latest estimate.

| Ordinary tax system | ▪ Stable 78% tax rate, consisting of corporate tax (CT) and special petroleum tax (SPT) ▪ Cash flow-based tax system from 2022 ▪ Immediate deductions for offshore investments in SPT and refund of tax losses |
|---|---|
| Temporary tax system implemented in 2020 to stimulate investments during the pandemic |
▪ An additional 12.4 % deduction of offshore investments in SPT for projects sanctioned pre-2023 ▪ Resulting in 86.9% deduction for investments versus 78% tax on income ▪ Applica le to ~85% of Aker BP's investments 2023-2027 |
| Financial effects | ▪ Cash flows accelerated with higher investments due to an increased gap between P&L and cash tax ▪ Tax-losses no longer carried forward, increasing robustness in years with low commodity prices ▪ Reduced outstanding tax balances and increased deferred tax on the balance sheet |
