Sometimes the smallest gestures make the biggest difference. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Last Friday, we surprised our audit team with lunch, a simple thank you for their dedication during one of the busiest times of the year.

Busy season asks a lot of our people, and moments like these remind us why recognition matters. When we take care of each other, we do our best work together.

To our audit team: thank you for your hard work, energy, and commitment. We see you, and we appreciate you. ๐Ÿ’™

Six months after the introduction of Zambia's Anti-Fragmentation Rule, businesses with cross-border operations should take the opportunity to reassess their structures and evaluate whether their activities could inadvertently create a Permanent Establishment (PE).

In our latest article, Prasitha Prasad explores the purpose of the Anti-Fragmentation Rule, its impact on multinational groups and foreign enterprises operating in Zambia, and the practical compliance considerations businesses should be aware of. The article also outlines the key steps organisations can take to identify and manage Permanent Establishment risks before they become costly tax exposures.

Expanding into a new market brings exciting opportunities, but it can also create unexpected tax obligations.

Whether your business is providing engineering, consulting, construction, technology, or other professional services across borders, understanding your local tax obligations before work begins is essential. Requirements such as VAT registration, appointing a local tax representative, and meeting compliance obligations can vary depending on the nature and duration of the project.

Many organisations focus on delivering the project while overlooking the tax implications of operating in a new jurisdiction. This can lead to unexpected compliance requirements, delays, and additional costs that could have been identified and managed from the outset.

At RSM Zambia, we help businesses navigate cross border tax obligations with practical, commercially focused advice, enabling them to enter new markets with confidence and remain compliant with local tax legislation.

If your business is planning to undertake projects in Zambia or expand into new markets, speak to our tax specialists to understand your obligations before work begins: https://www.rsm.global/zambia/service/tax

The introduction of IFRS 18 marks one of the most significant changes to financial statement presentation in over a decade. While it does not change how financial information is recognised or measured, it introduces a new structure for presenting profit or loss, enhances transparency, and brings greater scrutiny to management-defined performance measures.

With the standard becoming effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, now is the time for businesses to assess the impact on their reporting processes, financial systems, and performance reporting.

In this edition of RSM Insights, Misheck Ncube breaks down the key changes under IFRS 18 and what organisations should be doing today to ensure a smooth transition.

Retirement is more than reaching a milestone. It's about ensuring your wealth continues to support the life you want to live.

Building wealth, protecting it, and preparing for retirement require a long-term perspective. As financial priorities evolve, so do the decisions surrounding investments, succession planning, tax considerations, and preserving wealth for future generations.

At RSM Zambia, we help individuals, business owners, and organisations develop wealth management strategies that provide clarity, confidence, and long-term financial security. By aligning financial planning with your personal and business goals, we help you prepare not only for retirement, but for every stage of your financial journey.

Because successful wealth management is not just about growing assets, it's about creating lasting financial confidence.
