Brewer accused of depriving poor countries of millions in revenue

SABMiller…is avoiding millions of pounds of tax in India and the African countries where it makes and sells beer by routing profits through a web of tax-haven subsidiaries, according to a report published by ActionAid today. The company, whose brands include Grolsch, Peroni and Miller, and African beers Castle and Stone Lager, is accused by the development charity of siphoning profits out of developing countries and parking them offshore...ActionAid estimates it may have reduced its African corporation tax bill by as much as a fifth last year, depriving poorer countries of up to £20m in tax, or enough to send a quarter of a million children to school...SABMiller said it completely rejected ActionAid's interpretation..."SABMiller does not engage in aggressive tax planning in any part of its operations and the report includes a number of flawed assumptions," it said…"SABMiller companies pay a significant level of tax."...
