Responsible tax

A responsible approach to tax is an essential foundation for the value we create as a business to contribute to sustainable development worldwide.

Why responsible tax practices matter

As a responsible business, Maersk is committed to paying all applicable taxes in compliance with local laws, as well-functioning tax systems, both locally and internationally, can help finance education, healthcare, transport, infrastructure, and other vital public services.

Taxes are applicable to all aspects of our operations, via the services we provide, the business investments we undertake, the growth initiatives we pursue, and the remuneration of our employees, among others.

Our commitment to responsible tax conduct is part of our core values and we strive to act responsibly and with integrity in all tax matters.

Acting on our responsibilities

We pay tax where value is created, within the boundaries set by legislation and in accordance with relevant authority guidelines. We seek to be tax efficient, including to prevent double taxation, interest charges, tax penalties, and we only pay tax which is due.
