Prinova Tax Strategy
31 December, 2023
The publication of this statement is in accordance with the statutory requirements under Paragraph 22(2) Schedule19 of UK Finance Act 2016.This statement applies to Prinova UK entities (Prinova Europe Limited and Prinova Solutions Europe Limited) as of 31 December 2023.
We, Prinova group, are committed to complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in meeting our tax compliance and reporting responsibilities,
whilst simultaneously managing our regional tax expenses. We do not adopt artificial arrangements or structures for the purpose of tax avoidance.
1. Tax compliance
We are committed to complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in meeting our tax compliance and reporting responsibilities, including engaging in open and constructive relationships with tax authorities. We aim to demonstrate our
commitment to high integrity and ethical values in our dealings with the tax authorities.
2. Tax management strategy
The Finance Directors of our UK entities oversee the management of tax, and the Controllers within the accounting departments are assigned to ensure that we comply with tax regulations on a day to day basis. We have also retained external tax consulting firms to assist with the preparation of our tax returns and determining our annual corporate tax liabilities in accordance with the relevant legislations. These firms help us to ensure that we are up to date with regard to applicable tax regulations. Legislative reliefs available are considered where applicable, for instance, to eliminate double taxation. However, the business will not enter into transactions or undertake tax planning that is not driven by a commercial purpose.
3. Level of risk prepared to accept
The business accepts a low level of tax risk. When it is discovered that there is a risk associated with any tax regulation, we consult with professional tax advisers to assess the level of risk, and then take necessary action to eliminate or minimize the risk.
Where needed, we obtain guidance and direction from our ultimate parent company (Nagase Holdings Ltd) tax department.
4. Approach towards our dealings with HMRC
We aim to establish and maintain transparent, collaborative and professional
relationships with tax authorities. Accordingly, we fully cooperate with HMRC and act with integrity and transparency.
