Understanding Business Undertakings

Summary

An undertaking in business law refers to a business entity or project, often involving multiple agreements. In the oil and gas sector, taxation is typically ring-fenced, meaning profits from specific activities are computed separately from other business activities. This practice is common in countries like India, the UK, and the US, each with specific tax provisions. For precise legal interpretations, especially in Pakistan, consulting a legal database or expert is recommended.
