LONDON (Reuters) - Shell does not expect to pay UK windfall taxes in the current quarter as it is investing in new North Sea oil and gas projects such as Jackdaw, triggering a mechanism largely offsetting the tax, its chief financial officer said.
The levy, which was introduced in May, meant Shell paid around $360 million through the third quarter. Sinead Gorman added on Thursday she expected the tax to kick in again early next year.
