Petaquilla Gold S.A., has negotiated the best collective agreements in the country as far as economical and social benefits received by their employees, as done by all serious companies of the county, in addition to the fees paid to the State through Social Security (CSS).
This has resulted in an excellent synergy of the worker-employer relationship, in addition to the contributions made to the State and the social projects being done in the surrounding communities of the mining project.
The company invests 2.3% in volunteer social programs and 17.1% in purchases of local services.
At the end, it invests in the country 45.4% of the gross production, between taxes and purchases; while 5% in purchases of foreign services.
Petaquilla Gold, S.A. invests 45% of its gross production in the country, benefits that surpass the 2% royalties required by law.
From the 2% the company pays in royalties to the State, as established by the Mineral Resources code, 15% corresponds to the municipality where the project is being developed, for the benefit of the communities.
An alternative would be for the National Assembly to modify this law, so that instead of 15% of the royalties paid to the State, 50% is granted.
“With this money the municipalities could invest in education, health, transportation and environmental management, so there is sustainability in the processes being done by the peasants and natives of the region” highlights a press release.
If the royalties and taxes paid by the companies related to the sugar, ranching or tourism industries are compared, the specialists sustain that the mining industry pays the taxes of the net profit or 30%, which is the equivalent of 15% of the gross production.
“At the end, the mining project ends up paying 20.5% in taxes only, and this is just paid by the mining activity” states the release.
The release states Petaquilla Gold, S.A. is a company that has invested 300 million dollars through the years and has not recovered a single dollar yet “we asked, who invests 300 million dollars to recover 29.6% within 15 to 20 years? Only mining does”.
