Tax Reviews and Health Checks

Businesses and other registered entities that are operational carry an underlying tax risks occasioned by operational inefficiencies and in other cases human errors. We assist entities in identifying and quantifying this risk through undertaking of tax health checks or reviews under various tax heads. The tax health check or review exercise is not only historical/backward looking but encompasses a 360-degree evaluation of the taxes in question (past, present and future). In this regard, the objective of the exercise will be:
  • Identification and computation of exposure areas that have already crystallized
  • Establish reasons why the exposure arises and how the exposure can be mitigated in future.
  • Identification of potential tax risks based on the current and envisioned operations.

Our service is not only limited to identification and quantification of the tax risks but our advice encompasses recommending practical solutions in containing the tax risks identified. As an independent firm, we are well placed in assisting our clients in implementation of the proposed recommendations upon completion of our exercise.
