The constraint is almost never ambition. It is whether the finance function can keep pace.

Tax positions that are controlled, documented and defensible
Tax is rarely decided on the day of the audit. It is decided in the choices made beforehand, and in the quality of the documentation that supports them.
What we help you solve
- A notice of audit received, with no file assembled to answer it.
- Structuring choices made at incorporation and never revisited.
- Flows with a related company abroad, with no transfer pricing documentation.
- Returns filed under time pressure, without a consistency check against the accounts.
Independence. Recurring tax services are not compatible with a statutory audit mandate over the same entity. We check this before acceptance and help you structure a compliant arrangement.
Before you reply to the administration
The first answer to a notice of audit often shapes the whole procedure. Contact us before sending documents or taking a position in writing.
What we do
- Day-to-day tax advice and securing the positions taken
- Preparation, review and monitoring of tax returns
- Assistance and representation during a tax administration audit
- Tax disputes: claims and appeals
- Tax structuring of transactions and choice of legal form
- Transfer pricing: policy, documentation and consistency of flows
- Cross-border taxation and applicable tax treaties
- Tax due diligence ahead of an acquisition or a disposal
- Monitoring of changes to the General Tax Code
Standards and regional context
Our work is based on the Togolese General Tax Code, the procedures of the Office togolais des recettes (OTR), the WAEMU tax directives and, for cross-border transactions, the OECD transfer pricing principles.
