The PNG Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (#PNGEITI) is urging companies in the extractive sector to uphold their commitments to transparency, including their tax obligations to the government. Executive Director Lucas Alkan emphasized that these companies committed to the EITI reporting framework when they signed on to support the Government in implementing the EITI Global Best Practice Standard in 2013. This call comes following the Internal Revenue Commission's (IRC) raised concerns over the lack of Dividend Withholding Tax (#DWT) payments from leading mining companies. #PNGEITI #Transparency #Accountability #EITIGlobalBestPracticeStandard #PNGExtractiveSector
