Tax Strategy BCEGI UK TAX STRATEGY Chinese state owned Beijing Construction Engineering Group (BCEG) was founded in 0000 and began to expand internationally in 0000 with the establishment of Beijing Construction Engineering Group International (BCEGI). BCEGI is an international property developer and construction company specialising in bringing projects to fruition through strategic partnerships, investment and solid relationships. Today BCEGI is established in the UK (BCEGI Holdings (UK) Limited), along with America and Canada (BCEGI US). This tax strategy sets out the approach to tax of all the UK entities of BCEGI Holdings (UK) Limited (collectively referred to hereafter as BCEGI UK) and to meet our requirements under Paragraph 00, Schedule 00 of the UK Finance Act 0000. This document has been approved by the board of directors for the period ended 00 December 0000 and will be reviewed and where necessary, updated, on a periodic basis. Our Approach to Tax As a Chinese state owned group, BCEGI UK's overarching attitude to tax is to comply with all of our statutory reporting requirements in any territory we operate. We always act in accordance with all relevant tax laws and regulations and believe in paying the correct amount of tax when it is rightly due. In pursuing our commercial objectives, we will consider, along with input from our professional advisors where required, the most appropriate way to conduct our affairs to comply with all applicable tax laws, rules, regulations and disclosure requirements, making use of any government offered reliefs and incentives. Effective tax rate is not a key performance indicator within BCEGI UK. One of our key objectives is to ensure the reputation of BCEGI is not compromised. We will not enter into artificial transactions for the purpose of gaining a tax advantage. Management of Tax BCEGI UK take the management of our tax affairs very seriously, and tax is regularly discussed at board level (for example, when setting up new entities or dealing with significant transactions). As part of this approach, we entities seek advice from professional tax advisors and discuss the proposed transaction with our parent company in Hong Kong to ensure it is in line with the global BCEGI objectives. Our experienced finance team is responsible for implementation and management of specific documented tax processes and policies to govern tax on a day to day basis, with support from professional advisors and the Group's Corporate office where appropriate. The UK Finance Director has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the tax affairs of the UK entities, and is responsible for reporting to the Board regarding tax compliance and material tax uncertainties of the UK entities. Working with HMRC BCEGI UK seeks to have a collaborative and transparent working relation with HMRC based on honesty, openness and trust. Where the interpretation or intent of legislation is unclear, we engage with our trusted professional advisors to clarify the correct treatment, and if appropriate, consider engagement with tax authorities in real time for clearance on position adopted. Peter Chi Finance Director 00 Jan 0000 Data Protection and Cyber Security DATA PROTECTION & CYBER SECURITY STATEMENT OF INTENT BCEGI is committed to the lawful and appropriate treatment of personal data and considers it critical to maintaining confidence between the business and all its stakeholders. The Company therefore fully endorses and adheres to the Principles of the General Data Protection Regulations in meeting both its statutory and contractual obligations in relation to information and cyber security (ICS). In doing so it will: Adopt a risk-based approach to ensure that ICS risks are treated in a consistent and effective manner. Protect and prevent information (e.g. confidential or sensitive) from unauthorised uses or disclosures. Ensure that ICS is integrated into essential business activities. Ensure that ICS delivers value and meets business requirements. Prioritise ICS resources to protect the business applications where an ICS incident would have the greatest impact. Comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements to ensure that statutory obligations are met, stakeholder expectations are managed, and civil or criminal penalties are avoided. Provide timely and accurate reporting on ICS performance to support business requirements and manage ICS risks. Evaluate current and future ICS threats so that informed, timely action to mitigate risks can be taken. Promote continuous improvement in ICS to reduce costs, improve efficiency and effectiveness, and promote a culture of continuous improvement. Foster a security-positive culture that influences the behaviour of IT consumers to reduce the likelihood of ICS incidents occurring and limit their potential business impact. RESPONSIBILITIES Responsibility for this Policy ultimately lies with the BCEGI Lead Director. Day to day responsibility lies with the IT Manager - supported by the Management Team - who is responsible for the implementation of the Policy Statement and associated arrangements. This Policy Statement and associated arrangements are mandatory and apply to all employees, agency staff, temporary staff, professional bodies and supply chain partners who use any BCEGI IT services. Workers are responsible themselves for not committing acts that are unlawful or leave the business open to Information & Cyber Security threats. ARRANGEMENTS This Policy Statement and associated arrangements are maintained in the BCEGI Integrated Management System (iMS). They will be continually reviewed and improved in line with the needs of the business and to ensure ongoing compliance with legislation and best practice. It will be brought to the attention of all new workers during induction and will be available to all workers via the BCEGI iMS. Compliance with this Policy Statement will be regularly monitored through the BCEGI internal audit programme, regular review of IT and business performance, monitoring of incidents and via the BCEGI Management Review process. Incidents of non-compliance may be treated as misconduct which may warrant dismissal from employment.
