INTO AFRICA April 2018 Edition: Key to Growth – Africa’s Tax System

Welcome to the April edition of INTO AFRICA the publication with fresh insight into Africa’s emerging markets. This month’s edition, titled: Key to growth: Africa’s Tax System explores the tax laws and regulations across African countries.

In the global environment of scarce economic activity and resources, investors are increasingly looking to new sources of growth. Africa is one of these areas. However, navigating differing business customs across a continent as vast and diverse as Africa will present particular opportunities and challenges, for new companies seeking to expand their existing operations. Therefore, investors need to understand different tax laws and regulations of African countries and look for ways to manoeuvre the complexity, while minimising the risks and optimise the opportunities.

We open this edition, with a discourse from SAMUEL ALMEIDA (Tax lawyer, Vieira de Almeida & Associados Portugal), JOANA LOBATO HEITOR (Senior Associate, Vieira de Almeida & Associados Portugal) on the Angolan tax system – basically construed on oil and mining tax revenues, disregarding other sources of fiscal revenues. In parallel, TANIA SANTHIM (Senior Consultant, SAL & Caldeira Advogados) and JENIFFER BIZARRO (Junior Consultant, SAL & Caldeira Advogados) offer an overview of the Mozambican tax system and point that the current tax system is divided into national and municipal taxes.
