Taxation planning compliance for profit and non-profit organization

Tax laws and regulatory requirements can be complex, frequently updated, and difficult to apply correctly. Organisations that fail to understand their obligations may face penalties, financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption to their operations.

This course equips participants with practical knowledge and skills to understand tax requirements, plan effectively, maintain appropriate records, and meet their compliance obligations. It addresses the needs of both profit-making businesses and non-profit organisations, including the distinct tax considerations relating to exemptions, donations, grants, employees, suppliers, and income-generating activities.

By the end of the course, participants will be better prepared to identify tax risks, develop responsible tax-planning strategies, prepare compliance documentation, and support sound financial decision-making.

Business owners and entrepreneurs
Financial managers and accountants
Non-profit executives and administrators
Tax consultants and advisers
Compliance and risk officers
Finance and administrative officers
Non-profit fundraising and development officers
