ATO rules that Glencore understated the taxable income of its copper mine by $241 million over 3 yrs by diverting profits to its Swiss marketing hub.http://www.afr.com/business/mining/ato-finds-glencores-cobar-mine-understated-241-million-income-20171211-h02e6u …
I’m confused
Where do they get 100% (or 1000%?) markup figures from. Article says 4% discount on LME

It’s the profit relative to the operating costs of the hub. So discount from LME is one thing but ATO’s main measure is return on OPEX of hub. 100% return is ok, higher triggers inquiry.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

P.s I was unclear if Glencore’s markup is actually 1000%, or whether they are just saying that 100% is reasonable and 1000% is excessive.

Ah. I see what you mean. Sounds like '1000% mark up' was maybe a throw-away figure from someone at ATO explaining it to the journalist?
