Metso has received a reassessment decision from the Finnish tax authority

Metso has received a reassessment decision from the Finnish tax authority for its Finnish subsidiary Metso Minerals Oy. The reassessment decision is a result of a tax audit carried out in the company concerning tax years 2011-2016. The Finnish tax authority has requested Metso Minerals Oy to pay additional taxes, late payment interest and penalties in total of EUR 21 million. The decision concerns the transactions between Metso Minerals Oy and its foreign subsidiaries. Metso considers the Finnish tax authority's decision unfounded and will appeal the decision to Board of Adjustment of the Finnish tax authority. However, Metso Minerals Oy will recognize an income tax liability in the full amount of EUR 21 million in the financial statements and result of year 2017.
