Report on payments to governments for the year 2016
Polymetal International plc (LSE, MOEX: POLY, ADR: AUCOY) (together with its subsidiaries - "Polymetal", the "Company", or the "Group") issues the report on payments to government for the year ended 31 December 2016.
INTRODUCTION
This Report provides an overview of the payments to governments made by Polymetal International plc and its subsidiary undertakings (hereinafter referred to as "Polymetal") for the year 2016 as required under the UK's Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015). These UK Regulations enact domestic rules in line with Directive 2013/34/EU (the EU Accounting Directive (2013)) and apply to large extractive companies, whose securities are publicly listed on a UK-regulated stock market, that are involved in the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas deposits or other materials. This Report is also intended to satisfy the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Legislation
This report is prepared in accordance with The Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 as enacted in the UK in December 2014 and as amended in December 2015.
Reporting entities
This Report includes payments to governments made by Polymetal plc and its subsidiary undertakings. Payments made by entities over which Polymetal has joint control or significant influence are excluded from this Report. For the entities, acquired during the reporting period, payments to governments are reported from the acquisition date, namely for Kapan MPC CJSC and JSC Komarovskoye Mining Company from 28 April 2016 and 1 August 2016, respectively.
Activities
Payments made by Polymetal to governments arising from activities involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals are disclosed in this Report. It excludes payments related to refining activities made to the refineries owned by the government agencies and any payments which are not directly attributable to the production and exploration activities.
Government
Government includes any national, regional or local authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is a subsidiary of a government.
Project
Payments are reported at project level except that payments that are not attributable to a specific project are reported at legal entity level. Project is defined as operational activities which are governed by a single contract, or licence agreement, and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. If such agreements are substantially interconnected, those agreements are to be treated as a single project.
"Substantially interconnected" means forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated contracts, or licence agreements that are signed with a government giving rise to payment liabilities. Indicators of integration include, but are not limited to, geographic proximity, the use of shared infrastructure and common operational management.
License agreements are aggregated for the purposes of reporting as a single project only when those legal agreements have substantially similar terms and are both geographically and operationally integrated. Based on these principles Dukat and Lunnoye projects (JSC Magadan Silver) were aggregated for the purposes of reporting for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Payments
The information is reported under the following payment types:
Income taxes
These are taxes paid by Polymetal on its income and profits in accordance with legislation enacted in the applicable jurisdiction. Payments are reported net of refunds. Value added tax, personal income taxes, social taxes, property taxes are excluded.
The maximum income tax in Russia is set at 20% and is allocated between federal budget and he budgets of the relevant constituent regions. In 2015 and 2016 the following proportion was applied: 2% to the federal budget, whereas 18% allocated to the regional budgets. From 1 January 2016 Omolon Gold Mining Company LLC and JSC Magadan Silver are entitled to the decreased statutory income tax rate of 18% for the operations held in the Special Economic zone of the Russian Far East, thus they paid income tax in the following proportion: 2% to the federal budget and 16% to the regional budgets.
In Kazakhstan and Armenia income taxes are set at 20% and there are no regional or local income taxes in these countries.
Mining tax
Mining tax is a royalty payable in Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and Armenia, which is calculated based on the value of the precious metals extracted in the period. This value is usually determined based on the realised selling price of precious metals or, in case if there were no sales during the period, cost of production of metals extracted (Russian Federation) or the average market price (Kazakhstan) during the period. Royalty payable in Armenia is calculated as a percentage of actual sales during the reporting period.
Mining tax is Russia is levied at federal level, and then is reallocated between federal and respective regional budgets based on the following proportion: 40% of total tax collected to the federal budget, 60% to regional budgets. Mining tax and royalties in Kazakhstan and Armenia are levied at republican level.
Licence fees
These are fees and other sums paid as consideration for acquiring a licence for gaining access to an area where extractive activities are performed. Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to the extractive sector, or to access to extractive resources, are excluded. No significant licence fees individually more than 86,000 GBP were paid during the year ended 31 December 2016.
Rental fees
The land in the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan on which the Group's production facilities are located is owned by the state. The Group leases this land through operating lease agreements.
