Stricter penalties, new documentation requirements, increased information exchange among government agencies, tax field audit, "street survey”, improved training and specialisation of Inland Revenue staff are some of the tools used by the Inland Revenue Board to monitor the tax regime under self-assessment system.

As such, we deliver our tax compliance services through a standardised procedure, which has been specifically designed to bring both efficiency and quality to the compliance process.

Apart from tax compliance services, our tax professionals will work with clients to develop an overall comprehensive and innovative tax planning strategy in identifying tax saving opportunities. This includes:

• preparation of income tax computations and supporting schedules for submission to the Inland Revenue Board;
• applying for and making payments of tax including withholding tax to the Director General;
• attending to any tax queries raised by the Inland Revenue Board in the course of finalising the tax assessments;
• filing appeals against any excessive assessments;
• requesting for refunds of any tax overpaid;
• tax compliance work such as reviewing statements of income of the company’s employees prior to submission to the Inland Revenue Board, filing the employer’s return Form E, filing notification of commencement and cessation of employment of the company’s employees, obtaining tax clearance etc;
