5 DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CSR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

GOVERNANCE The Group head of tax is responsible for our approach to tax, and major changes to tax policies are approved by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee. The local tax manager has responsibility for local tax and ensures that adequate controls are in place so that the correct amount of taxes are identified and paid. Tax controls are subject to annual review by the Internal Audit Department. In addition, Technicolor has a Financial Ethics Charter which senior employees are asked to sign each year, when they are involved in preparing and reporting Technicolor’s financial results.

Tax returns are prepared by the Group’s internal departments or delegated to external advisors (including elements of tax compliance). In addition, where uncertainty regarding the tax treatment in a particular situation cannot be resolved internally, we refer the matter to external tax or legal advisors. Where it is still not possible to obtain certainty regarding the tax treatment, we aim to resolve the matter by discussion with the local tax authorities. Risks of this type may arise due to the complexity of legislation and because scenarios sometimes arise in practice that were not envisaged when legislation was drafted. Where agreement cannot be reached through discussion, we would consider seeking formal tax authorities’ opinion and potentially litigation to resolve the uncertainty, depending on the materiality involved.
