Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A Kenyan real estate firm with ties to the Chinese government evaded tens of millions of dollars in taxes by making fake loans and \u201cfictional\u201d imports to businesses in Mauritius, one of Africa\u2019s most notorious tax havens, according to an audit by the Kenyan government.<\/p>\n

Afrigo Development Co. Ltd. disguised more than $200 million with the help of bankers and other professionals, the Kenya Revenue Authority found in the 2021 audit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney is made in Kenya and routed through a series of phantom entities and transactions,\u201d the tax office wrote, accusing Afrigo Development Co.<\/p>\n

Ltd. of making payments through Mauritius \u201cwith the hope that the money will be bleached white. \u201d In total, the tax office fined Afrigo more than $24 million in taxes and penalties.<\/p>\n

The audit and other records were obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which in 2019 published the Mauritius Leaks<\/a> investigation, revealing how the island nation of 1.2 million people spent years attracting corporations with business in Africa that want to pay fewer taxes to some of the poorest countries in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe case illustrates clearly that Mauritius has set up itself as a hub for the flow of illicit money from African countries,\u201d said Alvin Mosioma, executive director of Tax Justice Network Africa.<\/p>\n

Afrigo did not respond to requests for comment. As of last month, the company had not paid the taxes and penalties, according to correspondence seen by ICIJ that described the sum as \u201coutstanding.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Afrigo obtained permission to build a business and dining complex on the outskirts of Kenya\u2019s capital, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The development, which sits next to a donkey sanctuary, includes a conference hall, basketball court and green spaces, according to the environmental impact assessment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2018, a local neighborhood association failed to stop the development in court, arguing <\/a>Kenya\u2019s environmental agency approved the project in secret.<\/p>\n

The development went ahead despite a separate judge in 2021 finding <\/a>the development and others nearby \u201cadversely affected the environment.<\/p>\n

Last December, the KRA completed its probe of Afrigo, identifying four suspicious companies in Mauritius without any apparent employees or permanent office address. One company, the tax office said, was promptly closed \u201cafter achieving its intention of siphoning money out of Kenya. \u201d<\/p>\n

The four companies identified by the Kenyan tax office list Beijing resident Guo Quing as a director, according to Mauritius public records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Someone with that name is the deputy general manager of a major railway project in Kenya being built by China Communications Constructions Company, one of the world\u2019s largest construction firms and owned by the government of China.<\/p>\n

Over years, the Kenya Revenue Authority found, CCCC paid more than $205 million to Afrigo Development Co Ltd. and other related Mauritius companies in \u201csham or circuitous transactions\u201d and \u201cfictional\u201d imports. Individual invoices seen by ICIJ show CCCC paid more than $8 million between 2018 and 2020 to shell companies tied to Afrigo.<\/p>\n

The companies, which the KRA alleges had no \u201cphysical presence other than a mailing address\u201d in Mauritius, received millions of dollars for royalties and to produce studies on train tunnels and concrete, invoices show.<\/p>\n

CCCC, Guo Quing and representatives of the Mauritius companies did not respond to requests for comment. In its audit, Kenya\u2019s tax office also targeted bankers and enablers who helped Afrigo and other companies create and profit from a legal fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

Afrigo \u201corchestrated a scheme of tax avoidance by having opaque corporate structures facilitated and or promoted by unsavory professionals, financial institutions and other surrogates by creating complex webs of legal structures,\u201d the KRA wrote.<\/p>\n

One enabler identified by the KRA was Standard Chartered Bank in Mauritius, which operated bank accounts for the shell companies. Another was Kim Fat Ho Hong, the managing director of SCI Essell Associates, a Mauritius offshore specialist firm that served as the local representative of Afrigo and other companies.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered and Ho Fong did not respond to questions. The Kenyan probe of Afrigo comes as governments in Africa and beyond promise to further stem tax dodging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot\u2026be complacent by failing to deploy our armory against Evitas\u2019 entities tax abuses,\u201d the tax agency wrote, referring to one of the four Mauritius shell companies.<\/p>\n

Mauritius, which for years advertised itself as the \u201cGateway to Africa,\u201d has long enticed corporations doing business in Africa to set up shell companies on the island.<\/p>\n

Mauritius offers companies secrecy, low tax rates and a network of bilateral treaties that critics allege allow profitable corporations to avoid paying taxes in some of the world\u2019s poorest countries. The government of Mauritius denies the island nation is a tax haven.<\/p>\n

In 2019, following ICIJ\u2019s Mauritius Leaks investigation, Zambia<\/a>, Senegal and Lesotho tore up treaties with Mauritius, arguing the agreements allowed corporations to avoid paying taxes where the money was made, benefitting from Mauritius low tax rate.
\nSenegal alone estimated<\/a> it lost $257 million over 17 years due to tax avoidance through the treaty with Mauritius.<\/p>\n
