FAQS

What does tax structuring actually involve for a growing business?

RvR’s tax structuring work covers six areas: protecting assets, positioning currency exposure, aligning the corporate structure with how the business actually operates, adapting to growth in size and shareholding, minimising exchange control restrictions, and optimising tax outcomes.

RvR positions structuring as most critical once a business starts expanding, particularly into new markets, since that’s when asset protection, currency exposure, and exchange control issues start to bite. The earlier this happens, the better. Structuring is easier and cheaper while a business’s value is still relatively low, even though there’s a cost either way.

This service isn’t limited to our three physical offices. We look at structuring across the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and we also help businesses based outside Africa structure their African operations.

Structuring is led by founder and managing partner Caoilfhionn van der Walt, who brings over 20 years of international tax experience from Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, and Sasol, working alongside transfer pricing partner Cabrini McCarrick where structuring intersects with pricing risk.
