HSA Chartered Accountants

Earlier this week, representatives from HSA attended the Tax Appreciation Workshop hosted by the Lusaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry in collaboration with the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA)

The workshop provided valuable insights into key tax compliance areas affecting SMEs, including Turnover Tax (TOT), Pay As You Earn (PAYE), self-assessment, record-keeping, and timely tax compliance.

As trusted advisors to businesses, we value opportunities that strengthen our understanding of the evolving tax landscape and enable us to better support our clients in meeting their compliance obligations.

We commend the Lusaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and ZRA for facilitating this informative engagement and creating a platform for knowledge sharing and dialogue with the business community.
