Rio Tinto has released a report which shows that it paid $US2.89bn ($A3.85bn) in taxes to governments in Australia during 2016. This compares with $US3.3bn in 2015. The Federal Government received a total of $US1.39bn in tax payments from Rio Tinto in 2016. The resources giant is disputing the Australian Taxation Office’s ruling that it must pay an additional $A447 million in taxes. The ruling is associated with Rio Tinto’s use of a marketing hub in Singapore. Rio’s global tax bill totalled $US3.98bn in 2016.
