PAYE, NASSIT, GST, income tax and withholding tax returns prepared and filed properly, with clear advice when the NRA gets in touch.

We prepare and file the regular returns most organisations in Sierra Leone need: Because we work from the same records as your bookkeeping and payroll, your returns match your accounts.
If the National Revenue Authority raises a query, sends an assessment or starts a field audit, we help you respond: gathering the records, preparing explanations and dealing with the NRA alongside you. We also carry out compliance reviews to find gaps before they become a problem, and advise on transfer pricing for groups with related-party transactions.
Tax rules change with each Finance Act. We keep track of the changes and explain what they mean for you in plain terms.
The National Revenue Authority (NRA) administers income tax, PAYE, GST, withholding tax and other taxes in Sierra Leone. NASSIT runs the national social security scheme, which employers contribute to for their staff. Rules and rates are updated through the annual Finance Act, so what applied last year may not apply now.
Most penalties we see are not about complex tax planning. They come from late filing, missed registrations, PAYE worked out on old rates, or withholding tax that was deducted from suppliers and never paid over. We prepare your returns from the same records as your books and payroll, keep a filing calendar, and check your position against each new Finance Act.
Scope and fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
