Preparing records and other excise-related documents
Many payers of excise tax find it difficult to prepare the right templates for excise records, declarations, statements, reports, etc. While the regulations in force require that such documentation be in place, no specific forms have been laid down as mandatory. Our service in this respect consists in the preparation of templates of records and other documents needed in the taxpayer’s business operations and specifying the exact manner in which they should be drawn up.
By having the templates of your records and other excise documents prepared by us you:
• have the confidence that the documents (templates) comply with the applicable laws
• avert the risk of being accused of misperformance by a tax authority
