· Countries in which the Gazprom Group's organizations are engaged in extraction activities and governments (budgets) for the benefit of which payments were made.

For the purposes of the Report, the term "project" means a legal entity engaged in the extraction activity. This definition is based on the existing tax regulations in the Russian Federation where the Gazprom Group performs most of its extraction activities. In accordance with the effective tax legislation in the Russian Federation, only mineral extraction tax can be determined for each particular field.

If a Gazprom Group company is involved in several types of business activities (including extraction activities) and a portion of its tax obligations directly related to extraction activities cannot be determined, the whole tax payment is included in the Report.

Note 31 "Net cash from operating activities" in the consolidated financial statements ofthe Gazprom Group prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year 2017 discloses information on taxes paid and other similar payments made in cash by all subsidiaries of the Gazprom Group (regardless of their types of business activities) in 2017.
