LANDOWNER COMPANY  SETTLES K120 MILLION LEGACY TAX LIABILITY  Internal Revenue Commission PNG Wednesday, 08 February 2023. Petroleum Resource Kutubu (PRK) presented a mock cheque of K120 million today to mark the completion of its legacy taxes.  PRK’s had tax disputes since 2011, and in 2019, all of these issues were resolved, resulting in a total tax liability of K120,758,504. Given that this was a considerable amount to pay, the Commissioner General placed them on a structured payment plan based on their cash flow. The final monthly repayment was made in January 2023, marking the complete settlement of the debt.  PRK is a subsidiary of Mineral Resources Development Company (MRDC). It was incorporated in 1989 under the Companies Act to hold the landowners and provincial government equity interest in the Kutubu Petroleum Project. PRK currently holds a 6.75% stake in Petroleum Development License 2 (PDL2) and 1% of PNG LNG.  At a small but significant press conference held today at the

Post Shitty Tabloid Courier is misleading and lately all their articles and headlines are never well investigated! by Grace Boker Mungkaje  PNG I believe does not have dual citizenship agreements with the Philippines. You can only be a dual citizen of PNG and the following prescribed countries: 1. Australia 2. Fiji 3. Germany 4. New Zealand 5. Samoa 6. United Kingdom 7. United States of America 8. Vanuatu After 18 years of age if you are a citizen of a country by birth, you have to decide which passport you retain. If you have a PNG passport by birth, then automatically it is rescinded once you obtain a foreign passport. Being born in PNG but now holding a foreign passport of a country we do not have this dual citizenship arrangement with does not allow you to receive the same benefits as a Papua New Guinean . If you want to receive the same benefits then you would have to renounce your foreign passport and only keep your PNG passport . For example I was born in Canada 🇨🇦 but my eth
