COALspot.com: Energy and Mineral Resources Ministy of Indonesia is planning to increase the royalty for coal miners particularly for Mining Business License ( IUP ) holders up to 13.5%. According to industry, the government is planning to introduce a new royalty for IUP holders which is around 7% higher than the current royalty rates that applicable for IUP OP operators.

Coal mines operating under Mining Business Licences (IUPs) are currently paying lesser royalty than miners operating under coal contracts of work (CCOW).

Mining Business License holder of coal miners are required pay only 3% for below 5100 kcal/kg coal and 5% for 5100 - 6100 kcal/kg coal. A 7% royalty is applicable for coal with calorific value higher than 6100 kcal/kg coal.

According to government's new royalty tariff plan, coal mines operating under Mining Business Licences (IUPs) also subject to higher royalty. the miners who produce coal with calorific value below 5100 kcal/kg coal to pay 10% royalty compared to current royalty of 3%. A 7% percent increase is proposed for coal with calorific value below 6100 kcal/kg. In the meantime, a 6.5% increase is proposed for the coal producers who produce bituminous type of coal or calorific value of coal is above 6100 kcal/kg.

Indonesian Coal Mining Association has objected the government plan as the current global coal prices are in lower side and the miners' also suffering lower margin due to lower coal prices versus higher production cost. According to media reports, association has submitted a proposal to the government HBA linked royalty hike for consideration.

The media reports further say, association appealed to the government not to introduce any royalty hikes at this moment or if the HBA is lesser than US$ 100 per mt.

Association wants the royalty hike linked to Indonesian Coal Price Reference (HBA) which is declared by Director General of Mineral and Coal of Indonesia on monthly basis. Indonesia's February HBA was sets at US$ 80.44 per MT a 1.78% lower than January 2014 HBA.

According to available information, Indonesian Coal Mining Association has proposed a royalty hike of 1.75% if HBA is between US$ 100 - 110 per mt. If the HBA is up or reached between US$ 111 - 120 per mt, then association proposal shows a hike of 3.50% and HBA reached above US$ 120, then association wish to accept royalty hike of US$ 5.5% for coal with calorific value up to 6100 kcal/kg coal.

If the calorific value of coal is higher than 6100 kcal/kg coal, association has proposed a hike of 2% if HBA between US$ 100 -110 per mt. A 4% hike was proposed if HBA is between US$111-120 pet mt. HBA increased over US$ 120 per mt the association proposal also increased to 5.5% hike from the current 7%.

In the meantime, as quoted by media, the government officials stated that, they have already submitted the their proposal to Indonesian coal mining association based on 13.5% for open cut mines and 9% for underground mines.

This royalty hike will be legalized by president degree which is expected soon.

The recently, the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources announced its plans to cap Indonesia's total coal output at 397m metric tonnes in 2014 - 6% lower than the 421m tonnes produced in 2013.

According to Fitch Ratings, the credit profiles of mining sub-contractors and miners highly reliant on increasing volumes to support high debt servicing will be most affected if Indonesia strictly implements limits on thermal coal production.
