Malawi: Transfer Pricing Audit
 |
The TRM team have recently advised and assisted a large MNE in interdicting the Malawi Revenue Authority from executing a faulty revised tax assessment based on unlawfully obtained documentation. The documentation was not obtained through formal Exchange of Information channels in terms of the appropriate DTA's. TRM also assisted the MNE filing the Appeal to the MRA - running a parallel process - the High Court action is aimed at procedural defects by the MRA and is a quick process, whereas the Tax Appeal process deals with the merits of the matter. If the MNE wins the High Court application to be heard shortly (after the interdict was granted) the Tax Appeal will fall away.

GHANA :: Chartered Institute Of Taxation (Ghana) 2011 National Annual Tax Conference: 24 - 26 August 2011

Transfer Pricing Rules and Business Strategy Development ChallengesPresenter from TRM: Prof. Daniel N. Erasmus With the formation of the African Tax Administration Forum ("ATAF"), and South Africa playing a leading role, it is anticipated that countries in Africa, including Ghana, will follow the successful example set by the South African Revenue Services ("SARS") under the leadership of former Commissioner Pravin Gordhan - his influence has impressed not only other African states such as Ghana, but many OECD member countries as well. Transfer Pricing is the final frontier - the one area of taxation for the tax authorities that has been difficult to implement and monitor because of its inherent complexity in drawing comparisons between multi-national corporations. Africa has lagged behind the OECD countries in transfer pricing – but are taking decisive steps through the ATAF, regional training and workshops to change this. Ghana is no exception.

SA/Angola :: Trade and Investment Forum: 22 - 25 August 2011

Taxation issues and the implications of Angolan tax laws for South African companiesPresenter from TRM: Prof. Daniel N. Erasmus Angola is a gold mine of opportunity and potentially a key trade partner with South Africa. However, the great challenge is how to foster a mutually beneficial working relationship between these two countries. Angola is currently the third fastest growing economy on the continent and eighth in the world. It seems to follow that trade co-operation between Angola and Africa’s most influential economy, South Africa, which recently joined the BRICS group of nations, should be a natural progression. Prof Erasmus will cover the salient tax implications for South Africa (and other international) companies doing business in Angola.
