Providing NXP taxation principles, approach, governance and engagements applied across our geographic operational footprint.
Since our founding as a company, NXP has applied a tax strategy that is sustainable, transparent and fully aligned with well-known and widely recognized international tax principles. NXP aims to support stable, transparent and predictable tax systems that incentivize long-term investments and economic growth. NXP’s tax structures are based on global standards and frameworks supported by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Within NXP, the tax department is led by a Senior Vice President (SVP), reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The CFO is responsible for updating the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a regular basis, with support from the tax-department leadership. NXP reviews and approves tax plans and targets annually, consistent with industry-wide, best-in-class control and governance frameworks.
