Tax contribution

This overall figure includes both own taxes and taxes collected by the Group. The report also shows that 48 % of the company's profit was allocated to the payment of taxes, compared to 44% the previous year. Thus, in the last five years, the contribution to the public coffers of the more than 25 countries in which the company operates amounts to neraly 43,000 million euros paid out.

Spain was the country that contributed the most in 2024, with €4.313 billion of contribution, 14% more than in 2023. It was followed by Brazil (2.428 billion), the United States (1.292 billion), the United Kingdom (1.260 billion), Mexico (442 million) and the other countries (565 million).

Committed to fiscal responsibility

Through the preparation of the Transparency Report 2024: our commitment to society [PDF], Iberdrola wishes to highlight the Group's significant tax contribution throughout the world - "essential for sustaining public expenditure", in the words of the company's chairman, Ignacio Galán-, especially in Spain, where the electricity tax (1.145 billion euros) and corporate income tax (890 million) are very important.

A key component of the Iberdrola Group's social dividend is our contribution to the public coffers, in accordance with the law and in line with the expectations of the various countries in which we operate and society in general. The contribution of large companies to the sustainability of tax systems is essential to ensure the best possible provision of essential goods and services, and at Iberdrola we are fully aware of the importance of fulfilling this responsibility.

With the publication of the Fiscal Transparency Report, we have made substantial progress in our transparency practices, making public all fiscal information that may be relevant for our stakeholders: shareholders, suppliers and people to whom we supply energy, public administrations and regulatory bodies, our staff, the media and society in general.
