Novozymes Tax Risk Management
NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION6 04/12/2023
Novozymes operates in many countries via sales companies & distributors, while production takes place in a few countries. This entails transactions, between Group companies. Novozymes follows the OECD principles in setting prices for these internal transactions, but as this is a complicated area it entails tax risks, among other things because the area is subject to political judgment in each country.
Novozymes regularly enters into dialog with tax authorities to reduce the tax risks and, as an example, in 2009 Novozymes was the first company in Europe to enter into a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (BAPA) with China. A BAPA is an agreement between the tax authorities of two countries to determine the split of a company’s profit for taxation between the countries. For Novozymes, an agreement like this creates predictability in relation to taxation.By following the OECD principles we pursue to live up to our desire to pay taxes in a responsible manner in the countries in which we operate.
