Extractive Sector: Payments to Governments Report 2021
Introduction
Background
The United Kingdom ("UK") Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014
(UK Regulations), as amended in December 2015, require UK companies in the
extractive sector to publicly disclose payments made to governments in the
countries where they undertake extractive operations. The UK Regulations enact
domestic rules in line with Directive 2013/34/EU and apply to large UK
incorporated companies that are involved in the exploration, prospection,
discovery, development and extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas deposits,
or other materials. The aim of Directive 2013/34/EU and the UK Regulations is
to enhance transparency in the extractive sector by imposing reporting
requirements relating to payments to governments.
The UK's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules extend the disclosure
requirements to companies that have securities listed on a UK regulated
market, including Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (in which PT United
Tractors Tbk and its subsidiaries, direct and indirect subsidiaries of PT
Astra International Tbk (hereinafter referred as "Astra"), are its
subsidiaries).

Project
Payment types are required to be reported by project. A project is defined as
the operational activities that are governed by a single contract, license,

geographically integrated contracts, licenses, leases or concessions or
related agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a
government, giving rise to payment liabilities.
