FT: Shell reveals it paid no UK corporate income tax in 2018

Royal Dutch Shell paid no corporate income tax in the UK in 2018 despite the oil and gas group generating pre-tax profits of nearly $731m, after receiving tax refunds related to the decommissioning of North Sea oil platforms. The figures, published in a report by the Anglo-Dutch company showing a global breakdown of payments, come after it said it would voluntarily disclose how much tax it pays in each country as part of a broader transparency drive. read more

Royal Dutch Shell Group paid no income tax in the Netherlands last year

English translation of an article published today by the Dutch FT

Shell makes little use of tax havens

BY Laurens Berentsen: 17 Dec 2019

In Brief

  • Shell was discredited last year because it does not pay tax on the profit it makes in the Netherlands.
  • The oil company gives openness today about how much income tax was paid in 2018 in the 99 countries in which it operates.
  • Tax director Alan McLean: more openness and facts lead to a better discussion about the tax behavior of the multinational.

The first public report in which Shell shows how much tax it pays per country disproves the image that the oil company is evading tax on a large scale. Less than 5% of the profit ($ 35.6 billion in 2018) is in notorious tax havens.

Shell chooses its locations for economic and not just for tax reasons, the company states in the report, which appears Tuesday. Critics will contradict this, tax director Alan McLean realizes.

Shell became discredited last year when it became known that the company does not pay taxes on the profit it makes in the Netherlands. The tax report, which Shell is publishing today, states that the company made a profit of about half a billion euros in the Netherlands in 2018, including refining and the sale of petrol. Also last year the group paid no income tax in the Netherlands. read more
