US energy giant Exxon Mobil disclosed on Wednesday that the company paid 7.41 billion USD in taxes and royalties to the United Arab Emirates last year, more than any other country globally, marking the first time the company has revealed such data. According to a regulatory filing submitted under Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act, Exxon Mobil paid a total of 49 billion USD in taxes and duties to the world in 2023, with total profits nearing 41 billion USD last year. Indonesia, Nigeria, and Malaysia are also among Exxon Mobil's largest tax receiving countries, collectively paying around 10.8 billion USD. The company paid 6.58 billion USD in taxes in the United States. Exxon Mobil stated that the disclosed information in the filing primarily focuses on income from oil & gas extraction and does not include 'payments made to governments for operations related to our other business segments. The reported tax amount in this filing does not equal our final tax liability.' (Global Market Broadcast)
