Stakeholder engagement and management of concerns related to tax

GRI 207-3 · mandatory · narrative disclosure

Disclosure 207-3 requires an organization to describe its approach to stakeholder engagement and the management of stakeholder views and concerns related to tax. The description covers three elements: engagement with tax authorities; public policy advocacy on tax; and the processes used to collect and consider stakeholder views and concerns, including the views of external stakeholders.

Legal status

GRI 207: Tax 2019 remains the applicable GRI Topic Standard for tax reporting and is effective for reporting on or after 1 January 2021.

Disclosure focus

The disclosure is primarily narrative. GRI 207-3 does not require the organization to report the number of meetings, submissions, concerns, responses or stakeholders engaged. Such figures can be provided as additional context but should not be presented as mandatory GRI datapoints.

When describing engagement with tax authorities, the organization can explain whether it participates in cooperative compliance arrangements, real-time audits, advance rulings, transaction clearances, advance pricing agreements or engagement on significant tax risks. Routine tax filing and payment activity does not by itself describe the engagement approach.

When describing public policy advocacy, the organization can explain its tax-related lobbying activities, positions on significant tax-policy issues, memberships and contributions to representative associations or committees, and any differences between its own public positions and those advocated by such bodies.

When describing stakeholder processes, the organization explains how views and concerns are collected, who can participate, how feedback is assessed and considered, and how relevant feedback has influenced or can influence the organization’s approach to tax, tax strategy or tax practices. External stakeholders must be included in the process.

Mechanisms for raising concerns under Disclosure 207-2 can support this disclosure but do not automatically replace the broader stakeholder-engagement process required by Disclosure 207-3. If an engagement process or advocacy activity does not exist, the organization reports this fact rather than inventing a process or activity.

This LRA educational guidance supports disclosure preparation. For the exact requirements, always refer to the official Global Reporting Initiative source.
