Introducing Tax Africa Network

Tax Africa Network (TAN) is the premier pan-African Tax Network born in Africa and bred by Africans - conceived and designed to form part of the shift in the economic landscape of the continent. TAN has been created by seasoned tax professionals across Africa, who are equipped with significant international tax experience and exposure across and beyond Africa. These professionals have decades of experience in leading international tax firms, working on complex projects and investment cases on the continent. Founded by Rogers Capital Tax in Mauritius, TAN has the support of its new members, as represented below

The essence of TAN lies at the heart of Africa and will engage in building a network of reliable members from different African countries having a specific mandate - providing personalised solutions to businesses all around the globe.

“It is our privilege to witness the rise of the premier network of tax professionals, born and bred in Africa”, states Cathie Hannelas, Managing Director of Rogers Capital Tax, the founding member of TAN.

With the breadth and depth of expertise it gathers, TAN is strategically positioned to advise industrial groups, investment funds, commercial banks, development financial institutions as well as African states, communities, start-ups, and young companies with high innovation impact potential. Some regions of the African business community are already operating under the common OHADA law (17 countries) while the fiscal regime of countries of the CEMAC (6 countries) and UMEOA (8 countries) regions are very similar. “The OHADA treaty was signed in Mauritius in 1993, and today, the Premier Tax Africa Network is set up from Mauritius with the same aim to help Africa become ONE”, adds Ryan Allas, International Tax Lead at Rogers Capital Tax.

Rogers Capital is proud to be the founding member of TAN. Notwithstanding the opportunity to create a robust and steadfast network of Tax professionals across the African continent, TAN will be the foundation for a consistent knowledge base, a resilient training programme for future generations and ultimately forge a strong, collaborative environment for its members and clients.

“Thanks to the relentless effort of our Tax team at Rogers Capital, we have been able to fulfil our strategic ambition in establishing the very first international tax network conceptualised in Africa and delivered by Africans. This growing African network intends to play a pivotal role in cross-jurisdictional and expert tax advisory and compliance services across the continent. Africa is best served by Africans! Godspeed to TAN!” concludes Kabir Ruhee, Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Capital.

With the convergence of African nations as one, TAN is the ultimate partner tasked to be the robust bridge between the African continent and the rest of the world. A member – based organisation, TAN is open to Tax & Legal professionals.
