CFEC-Afrique handles all your tax obligations in Burkina Faso: periodic returns, the annual tax package, risk reviews and tax planning within the law. When the authorities open an audit or issue a reassessment, we analyse each adjustment, prepare the reply and assist you through the appeals.
What we do
- Periodic and annual tax returns: VAT, corporate income tax, payroll taxes (IUTS and TPA), withholding taxes, business licence tax.
- Annual tax package (liasse fiscale): preparation, consistency check against the financial statements and filing on time.
- Tax audit: review of taxes and duties, withholdings and positions taken; quantification of risks.
- Tax optimisation within the law: choice of tax regime, incentives under the Investment Code and the Mining Code, tax treaties.
- Assistance during tax inspections: desk reviews and on-site audits of the accounts.
- Defence against reassessments: analysis of the notice, reasoned reply within the legal time limit, contentious and discretionary appeals, settlement.
- Tax on specific transactions: restructurings, transfer pricing, public contracts and donor-funded projects.
