PHILIPSBURG:--- Day to day management of tax affairs can be rocket science. Administrative mistakes and oversights scrutinized by the Tax office can become a business worst nightmare. Saving your dollars from the tax office is just next to impossible. Benjamin & Parker scanning the SXM business community discovered that the proper authorities don't assist the taxpayer to Save but only to Pay.
Consultancy firms in SXM are high fees enterprises and will overexpose your businesses financially.
The entire problem starts with understanding the cycle of taxation, the must and the don't within the tax environment and prevention of over taxation.
B & P confirms that tax information available to the general community provided by the Tax office in the Dutch Caribbean is poor and in the entire Dutch Caribbean, Inspectorates have not produced a detailed guideline booklets for the past decade, before and after 10-10-10.
It is the obligation of the Tax Office to teach the general community upon their obligations but also the rights tax payers are entitled to, however the last action is never performed. The big question is why? Is it a deliberate action to secure taxation? Two unanswered questions for decades, which Tax Authorities are reluctant to answer not only in Sint Maarten but the Dutch Caribbean. B & P has taken an action into the matter, and is giving online courses to guarantee the public, their entitled right to knowledge, as entrepreneur, as young professional and as starting consultant in the tax field.
The scope of the Tax Administration Basic course (for the CTA certification) addresses the entire fiscal mechanism, zooming in on Prevention, Risks and Administrative specifics, information that should be available at the tax authorities.
Another controversy is that the current available Tax mechanism information is outlined only in the Dutch language with very difficult tax terminology, making understanding of tax matters a 100 meter run with hurdles.
B & P designed and developed a practical framework to improve safe navigation through the tax comfort zone. The main objective relies on securing long term financial health of the taxpayer. The Basic course manual is a very helpful tool to assist anyone that attends the course, those interested in pursuing a career in the tax administration field or those who want to acquire knowledge in the tax matters, cause it's a step by step easy to follow guideline with focus on the must's and the don'ts.
Examination: The Basic course does not require doing an examination, however the exceptional characteristic after completing the certification sessions, is that the student receives online support (if requested by student) by Benjamin & Parker, as a supervisory body. This is a unique and completely innovative method in trainings introduced by Benjamin & Parker, as no Universities, and or Learning Institutions, guide their stakeholders in an after the fact environment. The Certified Tax Administrator can support taxpayers with pre tax assessment evaluations and guidance through the taxation conditions.
The B & P students continue to receive guidance online while working in the field, to guarantee and secure quality of their consultancy practices. Many businesses, consultants and entrepreneurs already participated
in the courses and are ready to assist you with your tax problems.
The Tax Administration Plus+ version is a more thorough course due to its technical nature and for which an examination is required to become a Certified Tax Controller. Similar to the Basic version the "Certified Tax Controller" professionals receive online support to guarantee quality.
