Finance & Regulatory
Tax & Customs
Corporate tax structuring, VAT, transfer pricing, customs classification and tax dispute defence.
Tax exposure is created by decisions taken long before a return is filed: how a group is structured, how contracts allocate risk, how goods are classified at the port. We advise on tax-efficient structures that stand up to audit, and we defend clients through the audit and litigation process.
Structure before optimisation
Aggressive optimisation on top of a weak structure fails at the first audit. We start with the commercial substance and build a position that can be documented and defended.
Surviving a reassessment
Cameroonian tax procedure has short, strict deadlines for responding to a notice of reassessment. Missing one can forfeit arguments entirely. We manage the calendar and the correspondence.
