Rosneft calls for tax cuts due investment shortage

MOSCOW, April 9 (Reuters) - The Russian government should reconsider cutting taxes for the oil and gas industry, which faces a shortage of investment funds of $83 billion to 2013, the head of Russia’s top state oil firm Rosneft said on Thursday.

“Tax cuts are needed. We cannot get by with one-offs,” Sergei Bogdanchikov told an industry conference. (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin, writing by Dmitry Zhdannikov; editing by Melissa Akin)
