In another report (Online Nigeria, 2005) Chevron Nigeria Limited, along with its subsidiary companies were identified in a $10.8 billion tax evasion scam after an investigation by ABZ Integrated Limited.

over stated its operational costs and evaded a petroleum profit tax of $994 million,
the overstated operations cost meant the Nigerian government lost $1.431 billion as a result of paying unwarranted cash to Chevron and its subsidiaries,´
during the years 1998 and 1999 the company diverted $75 million in Nigerian government taxes through dividends resulting from the overstated operational costs and thus increased profits,

Chevron evaded taxes utilizing claims to unmerited tax credits resulting from the overstated operations in an amount estimated as $22 million,

And that through conspiracy Chevron was assessed a lower tax, amounting to evading $95 million

The same report indicated that the company was also engaged in money laundering as a result of not providing details concerning $280 million in each of the two years as to debtors and creditors. The company's web site (Chevron, 2006), Annual Report and Form 10-K did not make reference to any the foregoing.
