Tax in Africa Survey 2007

This is the first “Tax in Africa” survey of its kind and it originates from a growing need among foreign investors who are considering Africa as a viable investment destination. The survey focuses on key tax, business and regulatory challenges faced by companies operating in Africa. The main findings of the survey confirm the view that tax systems across the African continent are extremely divergent and most require modern tax reforms to make the region more attractive to doing business. Other trends emerging, which are consistent with global trends, are the focus on managing tax risk and compliance, the need for tax function effectiveness within companies and the growing demand for tax skills.
