Business models and transactions are structured in a tax and customs compliant way, taking into account the legitimate interest to keep taxes and customs duties reasonably low. Aggressive tax and customs avoidance activities or artificial structures are not pursued. Risk management has a high priority. The implemented Tax Compliance Management System ensures compliance with tax laws and regulations by the organizational setup, processes and controls. In this context of compliance and efficiency, a responsible tax and customs planning and tax and customs consulting in accordance with laws and regulations is carried out. thyssenkrupp meets internationally accepted standards and principles by paying taxes in those countries in which the actual economic value is created. The relationship with financial and customs authorities is characterized by mutual trust and respect. Information is provided completely, correctly, timely and comprehensibly. thyssenkrupp closely observes developments in tax policy and regulations to be able to implement the respective measures in time and addresses its legitimate interests or concerns within associations, but does not engage in direct tax related lobbying activities.

thyssenkrupp discloses country-specific tax information for all Group entities on an annual basis, including earnings before taxes, income tax payments and income tax expenses, within the framework of its legal obligations to the German Federal Central Tax Office (country-bycountry reporting). The tax information disclosed as part of the country-by-country reporting is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial Statements issued under IFRS.
