Clarification of Rio Tinto's position regarding a paragraph within the Tax Report

09 May 2012

The Committee wishes to clarify the position of Rio Tinto in respect of country-by-country reporting, as discussed in paragraphs 65 and 66 of the report. The version of country-by-country reporting which Rio Tinto advocates and practices involves only the reporting of tax paid to governments. This should not be confused with the more all-encompassing version of country-by-country reporting recommended by the Committee in paragraph 66.
