Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act

Introduced January 23, 2025

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 24, 2025 at 3:22 AM UTC

The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act changes the tax code to let oil and gas producers treat intangible drilling and development costs differently when they calculate adjusted financial‑statement income. By limiting how depreciation and other expense deductions are counted, the bill aims to give energy companies a more favorable tax basis for these costs. The new rules take effect for tax years starting after the end of 2025.

Key Provisions

  • Amends Section 56A(c)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code so that, when calculating adjusted financial‑statement income, depreciation deductions (under §167) and other expense deductions (under §263(c)) are subtracted only to the extent they are allowed for taxable‑income purposes.
  • Adds language that requires taxpayers to ignore any depreciation or depletion expense reported on their financial statements that relates to intangible drilling and development costs when computing the adjusted financial‑statement income.
  • Specifies that these changes apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
