As per my understanding C has nothing to do with A but has link with B.  To avoid double taxation, it is possible that B&C should enter into jointly controled operations, this will not only help in avoiding double taxation, it will also alow both the companies to claim withholding tax on their payments received from A.  Further, both the investors will have control over their assets and liabilites and they will maintain their own books of accounts.
