Tax Audit & Reassessment

Tax audit assistance in Côte d'Ivoire

A tax audit is best prepared for, not endured. ANKHURA CONSEIL supports clients before, during and after a tax audit, to secure their position and negotiate the best possible outcome with the tax authority.

Understanding the procedure

The different types of audit

A tax audit is a dreaded but frequent step for businesses in Côte d'Ivoire. Preparing for it helps avoid costly reassessments and strengthens compliance.

  • Desk audit: carried out remotely by the tax authority, based on an analysis of your filings.
  • In-depth accounting audit: carried out on-site, with a visit from an agent of the Directorate General of Taxes.
  • Unannounced inspection: without notice, generally to verify a specific point or factual situation.

In every case, the procedure must remain adversarial: you must be able to respond to each proposed adjustment within the allotted time, with the support of an advisor if you wish.

Our support

Before, during and after the audit

01
Upfront preparation
Preventive audit of your filings and accounts, organizing supporting documents (trade register, filings from prior years, financial statements compliant with SYSCOHADA).
02
Presence during the audit
A single point of contact with the tax authority, preparing your teams, and providing reasoned responses to every request from the auditing agent.
03
Challenging the reassessment
Critical review of the proposed adjustment, drafting observations and claims, negotiating an amicable settlement when it serves your interests.
04
Avenues of appeal
When the amicable route is exhausted, support through litigation before the competent bodies, in coordination with your overall strategy.
To avoid

The most common mistakes

The most common mistakes we observe in our engagements are late filings, missing supporting documents, non-compliant tax deductions, and a mismatch between the accounts and the reality of operations. A regular review, even outside audit periods, helps correct them before they become risks.
