Specialist advice for operators, platforms and investors navigating one of Africa’s most complex and fast-moving tax environments.
Driven by mobile penetration, widespread access to payment platforms and the popularity of major international football. Governments have taken notice. Across the continent, African tax authorities are applying levy after levy to the sector: taxes on operators, taxes on customers, taxes on winnings and taxes on the services operators need to run their businesses.
The result is a tax environment that is layered, inconsistent, frequently changing and in many cases poorly understood by the authorities applying it. For operators and investors building serious businesses in African markets, that creates both compliance risk and strategic opportunity.
We have worked across African gaming markets for decades, including extensive experience in Nigeria and Uganda. We understand how these regimes work in practice, not just in theory, and we are well placed to advise at every stage of a betting or gaming business lifecycle.
African governments tax betting at multiple points simultaneously. We map your full tax exposure across operator levies, GGR taxes, customer withholding and indirect taxes, and build a clear picture of what you actually owe and where.
Tax authorities across Africa often interpret gaming tax legislation aggressively and inconsistently. We help you build documented, defensible positions that hold up in disputes, audits and regulatory engagements.
Gaming tax regimes change quickly across Africa, and operators rarely get advance warning. We track developments across jurisdictions and advise you on the implications before they affect your business.
We are African and international tax specialists with teams across South Africa, Mauritius, Ireland and the wider region. Our lead adviser on betting and gaming tax has over 40 years of African tax experience, including as a tax partner at PwC in both Nigeria and Uganda, where he developed deep expertise in the gaming sector specifically.
We are well placed to advise whether you are discussing the shape of a tax system with government, trying to understand how a regime actually works on the ground, or facing a challenge with how an authority is interpreting or applying the law. We engage at all levels and across the full complexity of African gaming markets.
