Tax

Tax exposure is rarely created at filing. It is created months earlier, in how transactions were recorded and decisions were made.

What we do

Tax compliance and filing

Corporate income tax, VAT, PAYE and withholding tax returns prepared and filed on schedule. For businesses without an internal tax function, we run the calendar so nothing is missed.

Tax audit support

When the Ghana Revenue Authority opens an audit or raises an assessment, we prepare the response, assemble the evidence, manage correspondence and handle objections.

Tax health check

A structured review of your position across every applicable tax, identifying exposure before it becomes an assessment and relief you are entitled to but not claiming.

Tax planning and advisory

Expansions, new entities, contracts and group arrangements structured with the tax consequences understood in advance, built on the law as it stands and documented to survive scrutiny.

Payroll taxes and SSNIT

PAYE computation, SSNIT obligations and the treatment of allowances, benefits and contractor arrangements, which is where payroll exposure tends to build up quietly.

Tax records and automation

Most exposure comes from record keeping, not aggressive positions. We automate invoice capture, withholding tracking and reconciliation so the trail exists when someone asks for it.

The cheapest tax work happens before the letter arrives

Most of the tax problems we see were not created by a filing. They were created months earlier: an invoice never captured, withholding deducted but never tracked, a sale recorded late or not at all.

Because we also build finance systems, we can close those gaps at the source rather than just correcting the return. That is what stops the same issue appearing next year.

When an assessment does arrive, the quality of the first response largely decides the outcome. We would much rather see it before you reply.

Common questions

What should we do when we receive a tax assessment from GRA?

Do not reply in a hurry. Note the date it was served, because objection time limits run from it, then compare the figures to your returns and records. We can review the assessment and prepare the objection.

We have not filed for several periods. Can this be fixed?

Yes, and it is more common than people think. We establish the extent of it, quantify the likely exposure to penalties and interest, and agree a route to regularise the position.

What is a tax health check?

A structured review of your position across all applicable taxes. It finds exposure before the Revenue Authority does, and identifies reliefs and credits you may be missing.

Can you handle our tax as well as our audit?

For many clients, yes. Where independence rules affect a particular engagement, we tell you upfront and structure the work accordingly.

Planning an audit, a tax review or an automation project?

Send us a request for proposal. We reply with a scoped approach and a fee, not a sales call.
