Skills
Handling a company's day-to-day taxation
Value added tax, corporate income tax, withholding, filing calendars: taxation sets the rhythm of a company's year. Mastering it secures cash flow and turns an administrative constraint into forward planning.
Owning the calendar before it owns you
Tax is either managed ahead of time or endured through adjustments. A company that knows its tax bases, prepares its returns early and provisions for its deadlines keeps control of its cash all year. The skill brings two things together: the applicable rule, and its embedding in the accounting entries that will produce it automatically. The programme teaches it on the OHADA framework and the regimes in force, in direct connection with the accounting block.
- Determine a financial year's taxable bases and substantiate them
- Prepare and file periodic returns within the deadlines
- Provision tax deadlines in the cash flow plan
- Assemble a response file for a request from the tax authority
The scale of the learning
You run a company's tax calendar single-handed and prepare the response file for a query from the tax authority. Four figures are enough to place a skill: blocks, hours, credits and certified outlets.
