Tax Advisory & Compliance

Every tax head, every filing — and someone who shows up when KRA writes back.

Practical tax planning and full-spectrum compliance across Kenyan tax heads, including KRA dispute resolution and tribunal representation.

What this is

An engagement built for the reader of the report.

Tax in Kenya isn't just about filing on time — it's about what happens when a demand notice lands. We manage the monthly compliance calendar and the multi-year disputes with the same partner-led team.

We are registered KRA tax agents. Our advice is structured around the specific tax heads that apply to your entity — not generic templates — and we document positions clearly enough to survive an audit five years later.

Common questions

Before you ask.

Are you registered as a KRA tax agent?
Yes. All filings are lodged under the firm's tax agent credentials, with full traceability on iTax.
Do you handle historical exposures?
Regularly. We quantify the exposure, weigh voluntary disclosure against dispute, and execute whichever route is cheaper for the client.
Can you represent us at the Tax Appeals Tribunal?
Yes — either alone or alongside your legal counsel. We prepare the statement of facts, evidence bundle and appear at the hearing.
