Careers Contact Us About Us Companies DC Thomson Media News & Media Partners Group Tax Strategy DC THOMSON & CO LTD GROUP TAX STRATEGY MANAGING OF TAX RISK The Group has competent senior finance individuals who lead the local teams providing strong technical support. These individuals are kept up to date on tax issues particularly by liaising with compliance advisors. Our people are actively encouraged to liaise with advisors and HMRC at the earliest opportunity. Tax policy and strategy is reviewed on an ongoing basis. RELATIONSHIP WITH HMRC The Group is open and transparent in its communications with HMRC. There is regular direct contact with HMRC and through established relationships with our advisors. Any uncertainly encountered on a tax transaction is promptly dealt with by making an advance approach to HMRC to clarify any such position. We engage with HMRC, our financial and legal advisors to ensure that our tax is paid correctly and timely. ATTITUDE TO TAX PLANNING The Group does not undertake aggressive tax planning and instead uses statutory tax policy that is fully compliant with the sprit of the UK tax law. We commit to report our tax affairs in the manner that reflects the economic reality which exists in the operation of our core trade. The Group operates overseas with sufficient substance and specifically only in locations with fully established tax regimes. This tax strategy is considered to comply under paragraph 16(2) of Schedule 19 of Finance Act 2016 Companies Beano Studios brightsolid DC Thomson DC Thomson Media Discovery Print Findmypast Puzzler The Stylist Group Quick Links About Us Contact Us Careers Partners Sitemap DC Thomson Capital DC Thomson Shop © D.C.
