Canada’s Cameco and Bruce Power have extended their long-term exclusive nuclear fuel supply arrangements for an additional 10 years until 2040. The original deal was announced in 2017. The arrangements include provisions for Cameco, one of the largest global providers of the uranium fuel, to supply 100% of Bruce Power’s uranium, conversion services and fuel fabrication requirements. The extension represents additional business between the companies estimated at CAD2.8bn ($2bn) from 2031 to 2040. The volumes under these new arrangements were included in the long-term contracting volumes disclosed by Cameco in February 2022.

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.
