Anyone has good resources on how companies set-up their logistic network in Africa? I found an article on Coca Cola but I am rather looking for heavy machinery companies

Africa is massive and has a large number of countries with different regulations, economies, and markets. There is no one size fits all option like in the US.

Many shippers take advantage of global FF and 3PL who already have an established network of agents they cant operate through. If you are not manufacturing but just importing and transporting through the continent it might be a good idea to give one of them a call.

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
