Agreement reached to hand back related CAD 300 million Cameco’s corporate headquarters in Saskatoon, Canada. Uranium miner Cameco is urging the Canada Revenue Agency to return CAD480m ($352m, €324m) in withheld tax after an agreement to return a related CAD300m.

Cameco said on Monday (27 March) that past court rulings require the CRA to refund all CAD780m the company has been seeking in a dispute over its transfer pricing transactions for the 2007-2013 tax years.

Cameco said a series of court decisions that were “completely and unequivocally” in Cameco’s favour for the 2003, 2005 and 2006 tax years determined that the income earned by Cameco’s foreign subsidiary from the sale of non-Canadian produced uranium was not taxable in Canada.

Cameco said the CRA had issued revised reassessments for the 2007 to 2013 tax years that will result in it being refunded CAD300m, consisting of CAD89m in cash and CAD211m in letters of credit.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Joe Biden have pledged to coordinate efforts to develop secure and reliable nuclear fuel supply chains in North America and build partnerships to help ensure access to low-enriched uranium. They will launch a one-year task force to accelerate cooperation on critical clean energy opportunities and supply chains, and Canada is to join a US-led programme to support small modular reactors (SMR).
