How We Work in Malawi

Where this country requires a locally registered or authorised tax agent or adviser, we say so in writing before work starts and work alongside them.

What we do

  • Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations in Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB
  • Payroll processing support and payslips, scoped per country
  • Month-end management reports and year-end schedules
  • Organised records and workpapers for your adviser, auditor or filer

What stays with your registered adviser

  • Tax return preparation, filing and lodgment, unless this page says otherwise
  • Representation before the tax authority
  • Tax, legal and investment advice
  • Audit and assurance engagements

Common questions

Do you file tax returns in Malawi?

Filing and representation are handled by a locally registered or authorised adviser unless this page states otherwise. We prepare the records and workpapers they rely on.

Which accounting software do you work in?

QuickBooks Online, Xero, MYOB and Tally. Ask us if you use something else.

How do we get started?

Contact us with your country, platform and what you need. We reply with a written scope and quote before any work starts.

Can you work with our accountant?

Yes. We are set up to work alongside your accountant, auditor or registered agent.

Malawi Tax & Compliance Framework

National taxes in Malawi, including income tax, value added tax (VAT), PAYE and withholding tax, are administered by the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA). Company registration is handled through the Registrar General's office.

Businesses typically need to keep proper accounting records, register for the taxes that apply to them, and file periodic returns and an annual return. Rates, thresholds and filing dates change, so they should be confirmed with the MRA or a locally authorised adviser before you rely on them.

PakalaTax supports your bookkeeping, payroll records and management reporting so that your tax adviser, auditor and company secretary have clean information to work from. Tax rules change; confirm current requirements with a locally authorised adviser.
