Gran Tierra Energy Inc.

This report is available for download from https://www.grantierra.com/sustainability/reporting/

Basis of preparation

 

The payments disclosed, which are on a cash basis in U.S Dollars, are based on where the obligation for the payment arose (i.e. at a project or corporate level). Where a payment or a series of related payments do not exceed £86,000, they are not required to be disclosed under the UK Regulations, however this has been disclosed in aggregate at a corporate level for clarity over obligations.

 

All of the payments disclosed in accordance with the Directive have been made to National Governments of Alberta, Colombia and Ecuador, either directly or through a Ministry or Department of the National Government and to Local Community Councils or municipalities in Canada, Colombia and Ecuador.

 

Taxes

 

This represents cash tax calculated on the basis of profits including income or capital gains. Income taxes are usually reflected in corporate income tax returns. The cash payment of income taxes occurs in the year in which the tax has arisen or up to one year later. Income taxes also include any cash tax rebates received from the Government or revenue authority during the year and excludes fines and penalties.

 

Royalties

 

This represents cash and in-kind royalties paid to Governments during the year for the extraction of oil or gas The terms of the royalties are described within Gran Tierra's 2024 Annual Report filed on form 10-K.

 

Fees
