UK Finance Act 2016: Expedia Group Tax Strategy Statement
Introduction
Expedia Group, Inc. is publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol EXPE. The Expedia
Group is a multinational organization with headquarters in the United States and operations worldwide.
As required by the UK Finance Act 2016, this statement sets out Expedia Group’s tax strategy, specifically the
approach to governance and risk management, managing stakeholders, business partnering and tax advice.
Expedia Group adopted guidelines that set forth our core principles and values, and expectations regarding
responsible business conduct. Expedia Group’s tax strategy aligns with these core principles and values and
covers all brands and jurisdictions within Expedia Group.
Governance and Risk Management
Expedia Group strives to adhere with tax laws, rules and regulations in all territories in which it operates.
Adherence with tax laws means paying the appropriate amount of tax to the appropriate tax jurisdictions in a
timely manner.
Expedia Group’s business operates at a broad scale and in multiple jurisdictions, and therefore incurs
significant tax obligations. Differences in interpretation and/or enforcement of tax laws, rules and
regulations may create tax risk, which Expedia Group proactively seeks to identify, evaluate, manage and monitor
through robust compliance, disclosure and control frameworks. The level of tax risk that Expedia Group accepts
is driven by its overarching values, corporate social responsibility and reputation. This includes adherence to
Sarbanes-Oxley controls, adopting a risk-and-control approach to Senior Accounting Officer obligations, global
transfer pricing rules and regulations and scaling operations using automation and continuous process
enhancement. Expedia Group seeks the counsel of external advisors, when needed, in relation to the
interpretation of tax laws, rules or regulations. With the above, tax risk is assessed on a case by case basis
based on the relevant facts and circumstances.
Managing Stakeholders
Expedia Group engages with all stakeholders including tax authorities in line with the guidelines mentioned
above. Additionally, Expedia Group may work with relevant authorities and legislators to clarify
obligations under existing, new and emerging tax laws, rules and regulations.
Business Partnering and Tax Advice
The Expedia Group Tax Team partners collaboratively and works across the Expedia Group business to enable Expedia
Group to make timely, holistic and coherent business decisions as well as respond to the dynamic environment in
which it operates.
