The TTC was developed by the Board of Taxation to encourage large and medium-sized businesses to publicly disclose their tax affairs. The intention of the reporting requirements is to highlight those that are paying their fair share of tax and to encourage all businesses not to engage in aggressive tax avoidance. The TTC places a specific onus on large businesses to take the lead, to become more transparent, and help educate the public about their compliance with Australia’s tax laws. The minimum disclosure standard required by the TTC depends on the size of the business. As defined by the TTC, as of FY18, IGO is now categorised as a large-sized business (i.e. a business with an aggregated turnover of greater than A$500 million). Prior to this date IGO was categorized as a medium sized business. Turnover is defined in section 5.1 of the TTC. (http://taxboard.gov.au/ files/2016/05/BoT_TransparencyCode_ Final-report.pdf) For large businesses, the code requires the disclosure of: • a reconciliation of accounting profit to tax expense and to income tax paid or income tax payable • identification of material temporary and non-temporary differences • accounting effective company tax rates for Australian and global operations (pursuant to AASB guidance) • approach to tax strategy and governance • tax contribution summary for corporate taxes paid • information about international related party dealings In relation to FY18, IGO will provide our disclosure statement on our website this year following notification of the Australian Tax Office.
