This seems to indicate that when the selling price on Nickel is high BNC tends to have more capacity to pay tax. As seen during the period under review 2017 to 2018, tax paid by BNC significantly increased from USD800K to USD2 Million. The period 2010 to 2013 also saw high payments in the form of Environmental Rehabilitations instead of tax remittance. This was also coupled by Net loss profit positions hence a lower amount of tax paid. It appears BNC has substituted the tax obligation to its CSR. Tax and CSR should not be interchangeable but instead should be complimentary. BNC appears to have differed USD$910k in tax for 2018 financials despite making a healthy profit when compared to 2017. How part of the Environmental rehabilitation provision were partitioned in relation to CSR.BNC has apparently stopped reporting on its Social Corporate responsibility chapter as from 2015 onwards.
