With the current drive to boost government income through taxation, it has become necessary for savvy companies to adopt a vigorous tax planning strategy. Yet, such companies must keep within the confines of applicable tax laws. Our tax practice covers Companies Income Tax, Personal Income Tax, Petroleum Profits Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Value Added Tax, Property Tax, excise duty and other levies taxes applicable to our clients’ businesses.
We advise clients on the tax aspects of business formation and operation, mergers and acquisition, reorganization, strategic partnerships, liquidations, divestitures, the issuance, sale and repurchase of securities, and the purchase and sale of property. We also represent clients before tax authorities (regulatory liaison and negotiation) and undertake tax litigation. Our effective representation in closing out contentious tax issues with Revenue authorities often makes resort to litigation unnecessary. However, there are times when litigation is unavoidable as a matter of last resort – we bring our skills to bear to achieve worthwhile results.
