Wienerberger Tax Strategy Wienerberger Limited makes every endeavour to meet its obligation to file tax returns, make accurate and timely submissions and disclosures, and pay all tax due. This
commitment is entirely consistent with the Wienerberger Group’s policies and values. Our tax processes are carefully and diligently managed by qualified in-house finance
professionals to ensure that our controls operate effectively and any identified risks are mitigated. This underpins our confidence that we operate an effective tax control framework, and that our tax filings are both complete and accurate.
Our finance team supports the business’ commercial decision making by providing
relevant tax advice in real time. To the extent that tax planning is undertaken, it is in support of commercially motivated transactions.
We seek to minimise tax risk for our stakeholders. To that end, we consult with tax
professionals where appropriate, seeking their opinion on any matters where there is
ambiguity in terms of tax treatment and using their knowledge and experience to review our submissions.
We look to resolve issues with HMRC in an open, constructive and timely manner.
This statement is published to comply with the duty to do so out in Paragraph 16(2) Schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2016.
