Ongoing Compliance & Reporting
Our goal is simple but profound: to allow organizations to operate confidently within Afghanistan’s tax environment—knowing that every aspect, from filing accuracy to strategic advisory, is managed by a partner committed to compliance, integrity, and efficiency.
Introduction
Moore Afghanistan provides end-to-end filing and reporting services—preparing monthly BRT and payroll tax returns, reconciling ledgers to invoices, verifying withholding certificates, and ensuring all payments are processed through proper banking channels. For companies that employ expatriates or manage multi-currency payrolls, we assist in computing individual income tax, handling gross-up arrangements, and preparing employee declarations in compliance with Afghan labor and tax codes.
For corporations, we handle annual Corporate Income Tax (CIT) filings, aligning financial statements with IFRS and adjusting for local depreciation, non-deductible expenses, and tax exemptions. Our reconciliation teams ensure that every Afghanis spent or earned is documented with verifiable audit evidence.
In the event of tax audits or disputes, Moore Afghanistan serves as the client’s authorized representative before the ARD. We prepare detailed defense files, manage communication, attend hearings, and negotiate assessments to achieve fair outcomes. Our experience has demonstrated a significant reduction—often over 60%—in tax adjustments through accurate reconciliations and factual representation.
Beyond compliance, our advisory division supports tax optimization and strategic planning. We assess eligibility for exemptions, support treaty relief applications where applicable, and provide strategic advice on structuring business operations to minimize risk. Our clients include major NGOs, UN implementing partners, embassies, contractors, and multinational corporations operating in Afghanistan’s complex tax regime.
Every engagement is governed by our Tax Control Matrix, mapping each obligation to its verification point, documentation requirement, and responsible officer. This structured discipline ensures audit readiness, transparency, and full accountability.
-
Withholding tax design & administration
We map each payment type (services, rent, professional, royalty, etc.) to the proper withholding rate, validate vendor status (Afghan vs. non-Afghan), issue withholding certificates, and reconcile withheld amounts monthly.
-
Business Receipts Tax (BRT) systems
We help clients embed BRT logic into invoicing systems (where possible), maintain receipt registers, reconcile BRT to sales, and file monthly or quarterly BRT returns with ARD.
-
Payroll tax planning and compliance
For staff salaries, we compute personal income tax (PIT) monthly, deduct required contributions (if any), file returns, prepare employee-level summaries, and reconcile payroll ledgers to tax submissions.
-
Corporate Income Tax (CIT) services
We manage full year-end provision, tax adjustments (non-deductible expenses, prior year carry forwards, loss utilization), depreciation modeling, and final CIT return preparation.
-
Interim tax advisory
When clients plan expansion, renegotiate contracts, or enter new sectors (say import/export, telecommunications, mining, or financial services), we review tax implications and propose optimization strategies.
-
Tax health checking and internal review
Periodically (quarterly or semi-annually), we run diagnostic assessments across 15–25 control points (e.g., vendor master controls, contract terms, invoice compliance, bank payment trails, reconciliation gaps) to identify weaknesses before ARD auditors do.
-
Exemption / relief applications
Some projects or sectors may qualify for tax holidays or exemptions under special statutes or bilateral agreements. We evaluate eligibility, prepare dossier submissions, maintain renewals, and monitor regulatory changes for expiry risk.
-
Audit defense, dispute, and negotiation support
When ARD initiates audits, we act as your authorized representative: preparing response letters, reconciling client books with ARD queries, negotiating settlements, defending in hearings, and filing appeals if needed.
-
Exit, closure & de-registration
Upon project termination or entity winding down, we guide clients through final returns, tax clearances, withholding certificate reconciliations, repatriation of residual funds, and proper record archiving.
