Report on Payments to Governments for the year 2015 and Taxes Paid in 2015
Introduction
Our report on payments to governments made by Rio Tinto and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31
December 2015 as required under the UK's Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015) was
filed at Companies House today. These UK Regulations enact domestic rules in line with Chapter 10 of the EU Accounting
Directive. The report is also intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 4.3A of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of
the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.
We also continue to publish, on a voluntary basis, our annual Taxes paid report. The Taxes
paid in 2015 report is more comprehensive than the mandatory filing and, in addition to reporting specific payments in
relation to extractive projects under the UK Regulations, includes the wider payments made by Rio Tinto to governments in each of
the main countries in which we operate.
Rio Tinto paid US$4.5 billion of taxes and a further US$1.6 billion on behalf of its employees during 2015.
Our Taxes Paid in 2015 report also includes information about our tax strategy and governance, international related
party dealings and other disclosures.
The Taxes Paid in 2015 report is available to download at
