How do I obtain the producer number if I am a purchaser who pays the tax?

If your seller is the producer, obtain the seller’s producer code or request the producer code and the lease code(s) for the mcfs for which you are paying the gas severance tax on behalf of the producer. If your seller is a working interest owner, the seller should furnish the producer’s code (not the working interest owner’s producer code) to you. You can also request the producer’s code from the working interest owner if you are paying the gas severance tax.

In every case, the correct producer number must be reported in the Producer Code Column.
