Your client's NamRA account shows an amount payable. But is the number actually correct?

A tax reconciliation does more than check whether payments were recorded. It tests whether the assessment itself is right under Namibian law. Those are two different problems, and confusing them leads to paying amounts you don't owe, or objecting through the wrong channel. This article walks you through the nine steps that turn a confusing ITAS statement into a clear, defensible answer.

Namibia is heading into one of its busiest reform years yet, and 2026 will test how prepared accountants, auditors and business advisors really are.

In this article we look at the six developments every professional should be tracking right now, and what they mean for the future shape of the profession.
