Logging firms, the Congos, and tax

There's an accusation at the moment that logging firms in Congo Kinshasa and Congo Brazzaville are evading taxes. It has been rejected in strong terms by one of the companies concerned.

It will be interesting to see how their governments respond. The DR Congolese government has been a canny manager of the economy generally and foreign companies in particular, so the logging firms may be checking nervously whether their records are indeed clean.
