Exhibit 7.1

COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for Thomson Reuters Corporation for the period presented.  For purposes of reporting with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Thomson Reuters PLC is a successor issuer to Reuters Group PLC (Reuters).

Thomson Reuters has two parent companies — Thomson Reuters Corporation and Thomson Reuters PLC — and their respective subsidiaries operate as a unified group under a dual listed company structure. Accordingly, standalone Thomson Reuters PLC information, which excludes the results of Thomson Reuters Corporation, is not indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Thomson Reuters as a whole and does not provide meaningful information for investors.  Thomson Reuters primary financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Thomson Reuters Corporation, which account for Thomson Reuters PLC as a subsidiary.

Accordingly, the computation below is based on Thomson Reuters Corporation consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2008, which include the results of Reuters from April 17, 2008, the date Reuters was acquired by The Thomson Corporation (renamed Thomson Reuters Corporation as of that date).

We have not made any pro forma adjustments to reflect Reuters results from the beginning of the period presented as Thomson Reuters Corporation was not required to prepare consolidated pro forma financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2008.  We computed the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing the amount of total earnings by the amount of total fixed charges.
