Cumulative annual cash flows shall mean the aggregation of the annual cash flows of the taxpayer subject to the natural gas investment tax for each year starting from the first year of its tax declaration in which the taxpayer was subject to the natural gas investment tax until the year preceding the year in which the tax declaration is due for presentation.

The internal rate of return shall mean the discount rate that causes the net present value of these cumulative annual cash flows (after being discounted to the start of the first year of such cash flows) to equal zero, and then rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent (0.1%).
