Section 2 – Resource Extraction Issuer Disclosure
| Item 2.01 | Resource Extraction Issuer Disclosure and Report |
BHP has a long-standing commitment to transparency. We have disclosed details of our tax and royalty payments for more than 20 years and we have continually updated and expanded our disclosures. We recognise taxes and royalties are important sources of government revenue and are central to the fiscal policy and macroeconomic stability of countries. Paying the right amount of taxes and royalties enables governments to finance and deliver on their development plans for the benefit of the broader community to promote sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and reduce poverty and inequality within and among countries. The BHP Economic Contribution Report aims to provide a greater understanding of BHP’s global tax profile, tax contributions and the way we govern and manage our tax obligations.
BHP is relying on the alternative reporting provision of Item 2.01.
BHP is subject to DTR 4.3A of the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 4.3A) that implements the payments to governments requirements provided for in the EU Transparency Directive in the United Kingdom and publishes its payments to governments as part of the annual Economic Contribution Report.
