Do Your Tax Right The First Time, And You’ll Have Minimal Hassles Later!
Engaging our tax compliance services involves two processes: hiring us; and getting you to comply with your tax obligations.
Step 1: Hiring Us
Assuming that you’re interested, the process begins as follows:
Step 2: Have Your Tax Documentation Prepared
Once we have all your tax documents, we’ll review them and map out all every task to be done in order to achieve your annual compliance.
Tax compliance essentially involves two things: drafting the right tax documentation correctly for submissions, and making your tax payments. Our services covers mainly the former, which impacts the latter as correct documentations guide you on amounts that you must pay.
Having said that, once we’ve planned out what documentations, and thus payments, must be made, we’ll prepare, and issue a series of checklists of source documents that we’ll need from you.
Once we’ve collected the needed documents, we’ll review them, and guide you on the payments to be made and when. By the 7th month after the your annual accounts closed, we’ll issue you a tax return, which you may use to in your tax filing, thereby closing your annual tax obligation compliance cycle for that year, whilst the cycle for this year begins and our services continues.
