Rio Tinto has declared a 58 per cent jump in its tax and royalty payments in 2021, underlining the gains reaped by global miners from a spike in iron ore prices.
Rio Tinto, the world's second-largest iron ore producer, last year paid $US13.3 billion ($A17.5 billion) in taxes and royalties across the countries it operates in, compared with $US8.4 billion in 2020.
