However, to transfer real estate in Togo, as in most countries, requires the involvement of a notary public, and requires very special attention.
If you are planning to lease out your real estate, you have to consider the city planning, but also the rights of tenants, and how to deal with them (in case of disputes, or before that; when signing a lease agreement), please contact our Togo lawyers who can help with these matters, including legal audits for real estate development projects,
landlord/tenant agreements and dispute resolutions, mortgage issues as well as legal advice and court representation when a particular real estate matter is brought before the administrative courts (such as building permit refusals, challenging administrative decisions and others).

Our Togo tax lawyers can assist you in this, and provide tax advice for sole proprietorships, to multinational companies.
Two important considerations that most businesses have to deal with are the local substance requirements (where is your company located, based on the applicable (if any) tax treaty? Or, which country is able to tax your company?) and the transfer pricing regulations (how much of your profits can each country tax, how should your margins be divided among the companies involved in delivering the goods or products to your customers).
Our Togo tax lawyers can assist you with these matters, and many other tax matters. We can provide you with an overview or detailed insight into the Togo taxation system, and the tax incentives and benefits which are available.
Are you interested to know which tax treaties are currently in place with the Republic of Togo, and how they work? Or do you have any other tax questions related to the Togo tax system? Feel free to call our Togo tax experts for a free consultation!
