Publication of Report on Payments to Governments for the year ended 31 December 2023

23 May 2024

Our report on payments to governments made by Rio Tinto and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2023 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 Taxes and Royalties Paid Report 2023, which is more comprehensive 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.

Rio Tinto paid US$8.5 billion of taxes and royalties and a further US$1.8 billion on behalf of its employees during 2023.

Our Taxes and Royalties Paid Report also includes information about our tax strategy including our tax policy, our commitment to transparency and our approach to responsible tax principles.

Our Taxes and Royalties Paid Report 2023 report is available to download at:
