These statistics may subsequently change following HMRC tax assessments and because tax relief for losses and decommissioning costs in subsequent years may be deductible against some profits that would otherwise be subject to Petroleum Revenue Tax in these periods.

The amount of tax for each field is the sum of the amount shown on the assessments for all the companies with an interest in the field. For the more recent periods, the number of fields with particular levels of liabilities will be revised as further assessments are made.
