LONDON--Associated British Foods PLC (ABF.LN)), an international food, ingredients and retail group which owns budget clothing store Primark, Monday denies that Illovo is engaged in anything illegal, immoral or designed to reduce the tax payable to the Zambian government.

MAIN FACTS:

-Since 2008 Illovo has invested 150 million pounds to double the production capacity in Zambia and create the largest sugar mill in Africa.

-Capital allowances on this investment have resulted in no corporate tax being payable since the investment was made.

-The availability of these allowances has nothing to do with tax avoidance.

-Payments made by Zambia Sugar for the services of third party contractors, expatriate personnel in Zambia and export services provided by Illovo, are made at cost.

-As a result there is no artificial reduction in profit in Zambia Sugar; payments are made to overseas companies, largely for historical reasons, and aren't driven by tax considerations.

-Company was responding to an ActionAid report.

-Shares closed Friday at 1759 pence valuing the company at GBP13.93 billion.
