Deloitte’s Tax Transparency Report
Our financial contribution to society
At Deloitte, we view tax transparency not just as a compliance obligation, but as a fundamental element of sustainable business practices. By sharing details about our tax contributions and approach, we seek to play an active role in shaping the global conversation around responsible taxation.
The following tax transparency report shows aggregated data for our two Swiss entities, Deloitte AG and Deloitte Consulting AG (together referred to as “Deloitte Switzerland”). Through this report, we reaffirm our commitment to paving the way for a fairer and more transparent global economy.
In 2025, tax transparency remains a cornerstone of responsible corporate governance, driven by increasing demands from regulators, investors, and the public for openness. Stakeholders expect clear and accessible information on corporate tax strategies, payments, and economic impact, recognising that transparency builds trust and accountability.
As sustainable development accelerates, taxes play a crucial role in funding public services and supporting a greener economy. Companies now see responsible tax practices as vital to a sustainable and inclusive future, with transparency central to maintaining long-term stakeholder trust.
