Tax Risk management and Governance
 
Responsibility for the tax strategy and supporting governance framework rests with the board of Apioil UK Limited.  Day-to-day compliance work such as processing of PAYE and VAT Returns is outsourced to external accountants.  The managing director is responsible for overseeing and authorising such compliance work.  In doing so, the risks associated with compliance failures such as submission of late returns, elections and claims are mitigated.
Risks associated with undertaking transactions without appropriate consideration of the potential tax consequences are mitigated by seeking external advice from UK advisers.

The company applies recognised transfer pricing policies such as the arms-length principle. 
Approach towards dealing with HMRC
