Tax Strategy UK

Richardson Malting (UK) Limited

This document outlines the tax strategy and approach for Richardson Malting (UK) Limited and all of its direct or indirect subsidiaries incorporated or resident in the UK for the year ending December 31, 2024. A separate UK tax strategy has been published that is applicable to other UK companies in the Richardson group but not part of this UK subgroup.

Richardson Malting (UK) Limited regards this publication as complying with paragraph 19(2) of Schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2016.

Our approach to tax strategy aligns with the values and beliefs of our business. We act with honesty, integrity and fairness to ensure that we comply with all tax laws, rules and regulations.

Tax Risk and Governance

We seek to identify, evaluate and manage tax risks that arise in respect of all UK taxes. We manage this risk through our own research and by consulting external advisors for technical expertise when necessary in order to keep any risk to a minimal level.

Compliance with tax regulations is one of the fundamental responsibilities of the board, and as such, tax affairs are handled by qualified professionals who advise the board on key items.

Tax Planning and Level of Risk

In order to satisfy our responsibility to the shareholders to minimize costs, we utilize tax reliefs available to us in the manner in which they were intended to be used. We seek expert advice where there is uncertainty or complexity in relation to tax law or its application. We are a responsible taxpayer and would not enter into planning arrangements which would not comply with applicable laws. Our tax positions reflect the business activities undertaken in the UK, and we do not enter into artificial or abusive arrangements to reduce our UK tax liability.

Relationship with Tax Authorities

We are committed to a professional, open and transparent relationship with HMRC. We are proactive in all dealings with HMRC. It is important to us to maintain a positive working relationship.
