The 1962 arrangement, including diamond profits tax
HMRC’s manual describes the UK–Namibia text as SI 1962/2788. It extends, with modifications, an old agreement with South Africa (SI 1962/2352). In Namibia it has effect for diamond profits tax from any year of assessment ending on or after 31 December 1962, and for other taxes from the year of assessment ended 30 June 1963. A further agreement, SI 1967/1490, amended parts of that text and entered into force on 27 November 1967. HMRC states that later agreements with South Africa have not been extended to Namibia. Do not use a current UK–South Africa treaty page as if it were the Namibian one.

Namibia Revenue Agency assesses Namibian tax. A Companies House certificate does not file diamond profits tax and does not file ordinary Namibian income tax.
A resident’s Namibian identity card accompanies the passport. Address proof should show a Namibian address: a recent Nampower or water bill, or a statement from a bank in Namibia. English is the official language, so this page is the local-language page. Our invoice is in sterling, not Namibian dollars.
What you get
We are an ACSP. We prepare form IN01 and file it at Companies House, with the identity check the register requires.

Packages start at £450. The Companies House fee is £100 and is charged separately. Identity verification is £30 for each person who must verify. Formation packages include a London registered office. The certificate and company number usually arrive within 24–48 UK working hours after the file is complete and paid.
From the Founder package we can help prepare a WorldFirst application after the certificate. WorldFirst decides the account. We do not open a bank account and we do not get Stripe to accept the company.

Questions
Can I use the current UK–South Africa treaty for Namibia?
No. HMRC says later South Africa agreements were not extended to Namibia.
Does the UK certificate file diamond profits tax?
No. That tax, where it applies, is a Namibian matter for NamRA.
Do you guarantee a bank account or Stripe?
No. The provider decides.
