UPDATE TO VODAFONE COUNTRY-BY-COUNTRY TAXATION AND TOTAL

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OVERVIEW

Vodafone today published an update to its voluntary disclosure of the Group's taxation and total economic contribution on a country-by-country basis to include financial information for the year ended 31 March 2013.

Vodafone published its first country-by-country breakdown in June 2013. The report published today provides an updated overview of the Group's total contribution to public finances in each of its countries of operation, including direct and indirect cash taxes paid as well as non-taxation-based government revenue contributions such as spectrum fees.

Vodafone is one of very few multinational companies worldwide to make a voluntary disclosure on a country-by-country, 'actual cash paid' basis, including details and explanations of tax payments and key taxation matters.
