Precious gemstones miner Gemfields revealed Friday<\/a> the Zambia’s Revenue Authority (ZRA) had served the company with two search warrants for its Kagem emerald mine, as part of a probe into alleged tax evasion.<\/p>\n

The two search warrants were served during an unannounced visit to Gemfield’s Kagem mine.<\/q><\/p>\n

During an unannounced visit on Thursday, the ZRA seized documents and files including those supposedly used to evade payment of Value Added Tax (VAT), income tax, with-holding tax and other taxes, Gemfields said.<\/p>\n

The rubies and emeralds miner did not say whether searches had actually taken place.<\/p>\n

\u201cGemfields will provide further updates as pertinent information becomes available,\u201d it said in the statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gemfields is the operator and 75% owner of the Kagem and Montepuez ruby mine (the later in Mozambique).<\/p>\n
