Tax transparency

Tax transparency in line with Our Bond

BlueScope supports the global development of improved tax transparency to assist with building trust in the tax systems in the countries in which we do business.  Our disclosures through the BlueScope Tax Contribution Report, published since FY2017, aim to help the community, including our investors, better understand our tax contributions, strategy, governance and compliance with the tax laws in Australia and internationally. 

BlueScope is subject to the tax regimes in each of the countries in which we have a presence. Wherever we operate we conduct business responsibly and ethically, and work to prevent instances of bribery and corruption, which take resources away from communities and governments. BlueScope is committed to complying with all tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We strive to pay the right amount of tax, at the right time, in the jurisdictions where we create value. This is consistent with Our Purpose, Our Bond and our belief in operating sustainably, responsibly and with integrity.

The information in our Tax Contribution Report, made available previously in our Sustainability Reports, meets the expectations of the Australian Voluntary Tax Transparency Code, to which we are a signatory.
