Transparency and fiscal responsibility

 

In March 2017, the Enagás Board of Directors agreed to join the Code of Good Tax Practises. This Code, promoted by the Tax Agency, contains recommendations to improve the application of the tax system in corporations through increased legal certainty, reciprocal cooperation based on good faith and legitimate trust between the Tax Agency and companies, and the implementation of responsible fiscal policies in companies with the knowledge of the Board of Directors.

Enagás’ tax policy was approved by the Board of Directors in 2017, updated in 2024, and establishes the strategy and principles that must guide the conduct of all Enagás professionals, as well as its value chain or third parties with which the company has dealings.

 

 

Furthermore, in line with its commitment to fiscal transparency, Enagás voluntarily submits an annual Fiscal Transparency Report (following approval by the Board of Directors), which is in line with the principles and good practices adopted by Enagás in its Tax Policy and the other fiscal governance measures approved by the Board. 

In May 2025 the company has renewed the t*** seal, the highest category in the ranking prepared by the Haz Foundation, which accredits benchmarks companies with the highest standards in terms of transparency and fiscal responsibility.

     

Tax contribution

Enagás publishes in its Annual Report the calculation of its Total Tax Contribution (TTC). This methodology measures the impact represented by the payment of taxes by Enagás from the point of view of the total contribution of taxes paid directly to the Public Administration as a result of the company’s economic activity.

(1) The following items are included: Corporate Income Tax, Tax on Trading Income and Withholding Tax.

 

 

They are those taxes that the company has paid to the tax authorities of the different countries in which it operates. These taxes are the ones that have been a real cost for Enagás, such as, for example, corporate income tax and environmental taxes.

 

They are those taxes levied on behalf of other taxpayers as a result of the economic activity of Enagás, without incurring any costs other than those of its administration.

"The Country-by-Country Report information has been prepared in accordance with the Eleventh Additional Provision of Law 22/2015 on Statutory Audits, which transposes Directive (EU) 2021/2101. In previous years, the Enagás Group voluntarily disclosed Country-by-Country Report information prepared on the basis of its consolidated financial statements. However, the amounts presented herein are derived from the individual financial information of each Group entity, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and aggregated by jurisdiction, without applying the eliminations that are normally made as part of the consolidation process. Therefore, this information should be interpreted as a whole and in conjunction with the information contained in the audited consolidated annual financial statements and the Total Tax Contribution of the Enagás Group.
 
With regard to the Enagás Group’s effective taxation, the ratio resulting from dividing current income tax by profit before tax as reported in the Country-by-Country Report is not representative of the Group’s actual effective tax rate, nor is it comparable to the statutory Corporate Income Tax rate. It should be noted that the tax amount reported relates exclusively to the current Corporate Income Tax expense for the year and does not include deferred tax expense. In Spain, the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of the Enagás Group is mainly attributable to dividends and capital gains that meet the requirements of Article 21 of the Corporate Income Tax Law and are therefore exempt from taxation. In the remaining jurisdictions (Mexico, Chile, Peru and the United States), the entities concerned are, in all cases, companies undergoing liquidation, with an immaterial level of income and, where applicable, taxation. As regards investments accounted for using the equity method, detailed information on such entities is not included within the scope of this Report".

 

With regard to tax havens, and in accordance with the provisions of its Tax Policy, Enagás does not use opaque structures to reduce its tax burden, nor does it carry out artificial operations not linked to its business activity to reduce taxation. 

Likewise, the company does not make any investments in or through territories qualified as tax havens according to prevailing Spanish tax regulations, for the purpose of reducing the tax burden. Enagás does not currently have a presence or carry out any activities in territories classified as tax havens in accordance with Order HFP/115/2023, of February 9, 2023, which determines the countries and territories, as well as harmful tax regimes, that are considered non-cooperative jurisdictions.
