ANP's role in royalty distribution:

ANP is responsible for calculating, determining, and distributing royalties to beneficiary entities (Union, States, and Municipalities). Royalties are distributed to beneficiaries according to various criteria established in Law No. 7,990/1989, Decree No. 1/1991 (distribution of the 5% Royalties portion), Law No. 9,478/1997, and Decree No. 2,705/1998 (distribution of the portion above 5% of Royalties).

The Agency values broad transparency regarding the resources distributed to beneficiary entities, as well as the careful execution of operational steps intrinsic to the complex activity of royalty distribution nationwide to the Union, states, and municipalities, as established by competencies in current legislation.

There is no established date for the payment of royalty amounts, according to applicable legislation. Nevertheless, ANP is committed to ensuring that royalty revenues reach beneficiaries as quickly as possible.
