Direct and indirect taxes
Requirements review, supporting analysis, and assistance with relevant reporting and filings.
Tax & Compliance
Tax clarity and disciplined compliance for more confident business decisions
We help companies and institutions understand obligations, organize records, manage deadlines, and address tax and regulatory matters through a practical, structured approach.
The challenge
Tax risk rarely begins at the filing deadline.
Risk develops when data is incomplete, ownership is unclear, or finance records do not align with regulatory requirements. We start by understanding the actual processes, documents, and facts behind each matter.

Requirements and procedures vary according to the facts and applicable rules. We do not imply government representation or guarantee official outcomes.
Who is this for?
We work with businesses that want a clean tax position and no surprises: filings on time, documentation that holds up under audit, and decisions that account for the tax effect before it lands.
- Sales-tax registered businessesPeriodic filings and continuous reconciliation between invoices, books and returns.
- Businesses facing a tax auditPreparing the file and documents and drafting technical responses ahead of the meeting.
- Companies behind on filingsMapping what is outstanding, correcting the position and estimating exposure before it compounds.
- Importers and exportersTax treatment of cross-border purchases and sales, and customs documentation.
- Professional service firmsWithholding on fees and contracts, including payments to non-residents.
- Startups and newly registered entitiesSetting the tax position up correctly from day one instead of fixing it later.
Good moments to call: a notice or request from the department, a late-filing penalty, a gap between your return and your books, the run-up to your financial year end when planning still changes the outcome, or ahead of a transaction or expansion that changes your tax position.
Frequently asked questions
Before we begin
Does Kayan Advisory provide legal services?
We provide financial, tax, and regulatory support within our professional scope. We do not represent ourselves as a government authority or law firm.
Can we begin with a focused review?
Yes. We can start with an initial assessment of records and risks, then agree a clear scope and practical implementation phases.
Can you support recurring compliance?
Yes. A recurring scope can be designed around the organization’s size, operations, reporting needs, and follow-up requirements.
What is the difference between tax compliance and tax planning?
Compliance is filing accurate returns on time. Planning is arranging your operations and contracts before a transaction happens, so the tax effect is known and defensible. The first protects you from penalties; the second saves real money. One does not replace the other.
Do you represent us before the Income and Sales Tax Department?
We support you technically: we prepare the file, documents and reconciliations, draft the responses, and attend technical meetings in a financial advisory capacity. Formal legal representation stays with whoever holds that legal capacity, and we coordinate with them when needed.
We have late filings and past errors. Can we still start?
Yes, and it is a common situation. We start by mapping what is outstanding and estimating the financial effect, then set a correction plan sequenced to reduce penalties, with everything filed afterwards supported by proper documentation.
How do we avoid late-filing penalties going forward?
A fixed calendar, a monthly close that finishes before the filing date rather than after it, and early notice of the amount due so the cash can be arranged. In most cases a penalty is the result of an internal delay, not a dispute with the department.
