Tax principles
Tax is a core component of corporate responsibility, and governance of tax is overseen by the Board. This tax policy applies across all jurisdictions.
Unilabs is committed to full compliance with the tax laws and regulations in operation in the countries in which we are present.
Unilabs follows established procedures for dealing with tax authorities, and always strives to be courteous and constructive in our dialogue, and to act with integrity.
Unilabs is committed to working with the relevant authorities on a proactive and timely basis to provide the necessary level of information to the tax authorities to allow them to fully assess the facts and reach an informed view. Where a tax authority adopts a different view on a tax position, we work openly and in real time with them to resolve the matter.
In situations where we proactively seek confirmation of a tax treatment from tax authorities through rulings, we do so based on complete and accurate information and with full disclosure of the facts.
Unilabs works closely with trusted advisors in the countries in which we are present.
We do not enter into contrived or artificial arrangements with the purpose of artificially reducing our tax contribution.
