Notice to
LSE
Publication of Report on Payments to Governments for the year ended 31
December 2025
27 May 2026
Rio Tinto paid US$9.9 billion of taxes and royalties and a further US$1.9
billion on behalf of its employees during 2025.
Our report on payments to governments made by Rio Tinto and its subsidiary
undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2025 as required under the UK's
Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December
2015) has been filed at Companies House. The report also satisfies the
requirements of Rule 4.3A of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.
We also continue to publish on a voluntary basis, our annual Taxes and
Royalties Paid Report 2025. This report provides more comprehensive
information than the mandatory filing and includes the wider payments made by
Rio Tinto to governments in each of the main countries in which we operate.
It also includes information about our tax strategy including our tax policy,
our commitment to transparency and our approach to responsible tax
principles. This report, coupled with our annual Country-by-Country Report
applies in full the requirements of the "Tax" standard (GRI 207) of the Global
Sustainability Standards Board of the Global Reporting Initiative.
Our Taxes and Royalties Paid Report 2025 report is available to download at:
