  • Hitachi Group Strategy for UK Tax Management
    Hitachi Group Strategy for UK Tax Management 1. Introduction Hitachi conducts business on a global scale across a broad range of business areas and utilises sophisticated and specialised technologies to carry out its operations. As a result, it is exposed to risks attributable to the economic environment, risks inherent in individual industrial sectors and business lines and risks related to our operations. This is no different in the UK. Recent developments in the tax environment have led to tax authorities around the world introducing additional reporting to enhance transparency, compliance and governance requirements that companies must fulfil. These include the Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) rules and Publication of Tax Strategy requirements in the UK, the latter requiring UK resident companies that meet certain requirements to publish their tax strategy in the UK and make it available for the public. Hitachi, as a responsible company, keeps up to date with these requirements and ensures measures are put in place not only to comply with them but also strive to encourage ethical and transparent business practices. As part of these measures, in 2016 Hitachi introduced basic rules that Hitachi Group companies must follow when dealing with any matter related to tax (the “global tax rules”). Scope This Hitachi Group Strategy for UK Tax Management (the “UK Tax Strategy”) applies to all Hitachi Group UK resident entities as listed in Appendix I. 2. UK Tax Strategy Introduction to the UK tax strategy The UK Tax Strategy is focused on ensuring that the Hitachi Group UK companies’ taxes and tax risks are managed to provide a sustainable outcome within the parameters of Hitachi’s strategic and commercial objectives.
