AT – Nov 2024 – L3 – Q3a – Tax Planning and Objection to Tax Assessment

Advise Poyooyo LTD on provisions in tax laws to challenge a disputed tax liability.

The Directors of Poyooyo LTD have heard of the Maxims of Tax Planning, which outline strategies for minimizing tax liabilities legally.

In a recent visit by the Domestic Tax Revenue Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) in Accra conducted a tax audit on the company, resulting in tax assessments raised against Poyooyo LTD for settlement.

Management of the company, in their last meeting with the directors, presented the outcome of the tax audit and strongly argued that the assessment was erroneous. They claimed that the liabilities raised were based on legitimate tax planning strategies the company employed.

They believe that the company is in full compliance with the tax laws and should not be required to settle the tax liabilities assessed. However, payment of the liability would significantly impact the company’s cash flow and disrupt its operations.

Poyooyo LTD has approached your tax consulting firm for assistance and guidance.

Required:

Advise Poyooyo LTD on the provisions of the tax laws that could be taken advantage of to avert the payment of the liability.
