BP is forecast to pay about 未来4年，随着英国石油
$10bn less tax over the next four (BP)承担墨西哥湾大规模石years as it meets the costs of its 油泄漏所造成的成本，预计该huge oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico, cutting the revenues of the US and Britain that receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the company each year.
Money spent plugging the well, cleaning up the oil and
compensating people who have lost out because of the spill, can be written off against tax, the company believes, reducing the
net cost to BP. Of its principal expected
liabilities, only the fines that might be imposed by the US authorities would definitely not
be tax-deductible.

shares soaring, closing 9.11 per cent higher in London, but the company still faces huge and
uncertain liabilities, estimated by analysts at about $50bn. If BP manages to seal the

estimated that its total spending in the Gulf region could be about
$30bn.
That would represent about
$10bn of clean-up costs and $20bn 漏油。
