Taxation

Description

Taxation provides the government with funding to deliver essential services and manage the economy. Taxation professionals assist organisations with a range of business decisions. These range from choosing a business car to establishing retirement plans for employees, to financing offshore expansion. An awareness of taxation legislation and policies enables companies and individuals to structure their business transactions in a tax effective manner, increasing profit and efficiency.
