Tax Law

Our Tax Law Services

Effective tax planning demands more than knowledge of the law—it requires a deep understanding of business structures, industry realities, and regulatory expectations.

Tax Planning & Structuring

We design and implement compliant tax planning structures tailored to both local and cross-border operations. Our team ensures tax-efficient corporate restructuring and investment planning that aligns with Tanzanian regulatory frameworks.

Advisory on Direct & Indirect Taxes

We provide clear guidance on all major tax categories, including Tanzanian Income Tax, Corporate Tax, VAT, Excise Duties, Customs and Import Duties, as well as Stamp Duty and sector-specific levies relevant to your industry of interest.

Transfer Pricing & Tax Policies

Our transfer pricing support covers policy design, documentation preparation, and advisory for related-party transactions. We also assist with audits and risk assessments to ensure compliance with evolving regional and international standards.

Tax Dispute, Resolutions & Settlements

We represent clients at every stage of tax resolution from objections and administrative reviews to settlement negotiations, appearances before the Tax Appeals Board and Tribunal and court.

Tax Exemptions & Incentives

We advise on tax exemptions, investment-related incentives, and sector-specific reliefs. Our team also guides clients through application processes and ensures ongoing compliance with exemption conditions.

Ongoing Tax Compliance Support

We offer continuous support on tax returns, assessments, and regulatory updates. Our team assists during audits and investigations, helping clients manage risks and maintain full compliance with tax laws.

Why Clients Choose Mak Africa Attorneys

We offer end-to-end tax advisory services, including planning, compliance, and dispute resolution. Our lawyers and consulting experts stay updated with evolving tax legislation, administrative practices, and the approaches used by tax authorities in Tanzania and the East African Community.

We provide tax planning, advisory on direct and indirect taxes, transfer pricing support, dispute resolution, guidance on tax exemptions, and assistance with tax compliance, returns, and assessments.

International operations involve multiple tax jurisdictions, evolving regulations, and complex cross-border structures. Legal support ensures that tax strategies comply with Tanzanian law, minimize risk, and align with global standards especially for foreign investors, regional subsidiaries, and multinational groups.

We represent clients in all stages of tax disputes, including objections, negotiations, administrative hearings, Tax Appeals Board, Tax Appeals Tribunal, and where applicable, courts. Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting the client’s financial and legal interests.

Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related companies within the same group. It is critical because tax authorities closely scrutinize these dealings to ensure they reflect fair market value. Non-compliance can result in penalties, adjustments, and prolonged disputes. We help clients design compliant transfer pricing policies and manage both documentation and audits.

We assist with interpreting tax obligations, reviewing tax returns and assessments, preparing submissions, advising during audits, and ensuring businesses remain compliant with Tanzanian tax laws and regulatory updates.
