Service Process

Our Taxation Law practice at AAT and Partner Law Firm follows a meticulous, client-focused process to address the complexities of tax compliance and optimization. Below is a detailed outline of our approach:

Initial Consultation and Tax Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your financial structure, business operations, or personal income sources. Our attorneys review existing tax records, business activities, and cross-border transactions to identify obligations under Cameroon’s General Tax Code and OHADA regulations. This step assesses potential tax risks, exemptions, or incentives, aligning our strategy with your financial goals

Tax Planning and Structuring

We develop customized tax strategies to optimize your fiscal position. This includes advising on tax-efficient business structures, such as SARLs or subsidiaries, and leveraging incentives like those in Cameroon’s Investment Code. Our team ensures compliance while minimizing liabilities for corporate tax, VAT, or personal income tax

Tax Registration and Compliance

We assist with registering for tax obligations with the Cameroon Tax Authority, including corporate tax, VAT, and payroll taxes. Our attorneys prepare and file accurate tax returns, ensuring timely submissions and compliance with statutory deadlines. We also guide clients through compliance with regional OHADA tax harmonization requirements.

Audit Support and Representation

In case of tax audits or inquiries by the Cameroon Tax Authority, we provide robust support. Our team prepares necessary documentation, responds to queries, and represents clients during audits or appeals. We advocate for fair outcomes, mitigating penalties and resolving discrepancies efficiently.

Dispute Resolution and Tax Litigation

We handle tax disputes, such as assessments or penalties, through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Our attorneys represent clients before tax authorities or courts, leveraging expertise in Cameroonian tax law to challenge unfair rulings or secure favorable settlements, ensuring protection of your financial interests
