In this report:

•Government payments include payments for extractive industries made to any national, federal, regional, state, province, county, district, municipal, local or equivalent authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is state-owned or is a subsidiary of a government.

•Project means the operational activities governed by a single contract, licence, lease or similar legal agreement. Where a series of such agreements are substantially interconnected, they are treated as a single project for the purpose of establishing reporting requirements.

•Payments are reported under the following categories:

oTaxes: This category includes taxes paid to governments on income, profits or production related to extraction activities as defined. Payments are reported net of refunds. Consumption taxes and personal income taxes are excluded.

oRoyalties: This category includes payments to a government for the rights to extract minerals, oil and natural gas or other materials, typically at a set percentage of revenue less any deductions that may be taken.
