Tax authority asks Glencore to pay underpaid taxes

摘要

Zambia has asked commodity trader Glencore International's Mopani Copper Mines for unpaid taxes after an audit of the subsidiary, leaked earlier this year, said it had underpaid mining dues, the country's finance minister said. But Zambia is leaving the door open for a deal with Glencore. Finance Minister Situ-mbeko Musokotwane told Reuters in June that the Government hoped to resolve the long-standing issue and was giving Mopani a chance to respond.
