Corporate income tax and withholding tax reviews

Our reviews of CIT and WHT returns provide an independent, third-party view on the compliance of tax returns with the relevant legislation. They are aimed at providing additional comfort that taxes are properly assessed and tax returns are accurate and prepared in accordance with legal requirements. Our reviews may also indicate areas of non-compliance and areas of potential tax risk that should be addressed and/or remedied before a tax audit by the authorities.

We will review the draft CIT return before it is submitted to the tax authorities in order to confirm its compliance with regulations. Alternatively, we can also perform a review of CIT returns already submitted, but still within the statute of limitation period.

Our review will provide comfort that WHT on payments to non-residents is properly calculated and settled. WHT review can be conducted prior to or after filing the return with the tax office.
