Your tax,
handled by experts.
KRA letters, growing penalties, late returns, confusing VAT. We sort it out, keep you compliant and tax efficient, and stand with you when KRA comes asking.
Sound Familiar?
- A KRA letter or demand you don't understand
- Penalties and interest that keep growing
- Returns you haven't filed, some going back years
- eTIMS invoices that don't match your returns
- Not sure whether your tax is set up efficiently
- No time to keep up with new tax rules
Tax rules in Kenya change every year, and KRA now sees more of your business through eTIMS and iTax than ever. One missed return or wrong invoice can turn into penalties you never saw coming.
A late PAYE return can cost you 25% of the tax due or KES 10,000, whichever is higher. Paying late adds a 5% penalty, plus interest of 1% every month.
The tax problems we take off your plate
KRA Letters, Audits & Disputes
A letter from KRA can be frightening. We take it from there: we manage the audit, answer KRA on your behalf, negotiate the amount demanded, and represent you at the Tax Appeals Tribunal if it comes to that.
Tax Health Check
Not sure whether your past returns would stand up to KRA? We review them, show you where you are at risk before KRA finds it, and give you a clear plan to put things right.
Business Tax Returns
We work out which tax applies to your business, whether Corporation Tax or Turnover Tax, prepare and file your returns on iTax, and apply the expenses and allowances the law provides, so your returns are accurate and tax efficient.
VAT & eTIMS
We file your monthly VAT returns, set up eTIMS and check that your invoices match what KRA sees, claim back the VAT you have already paid on purchases, and handle your refund claims.
PAYE for Your Staff
We calculate PAYE correctly, prepare the P9 forms your staff need, and show you how to structure pay and benefits in a tax-efficient way, while the business stays on the right side of KRA.
Doing Business Across Borders
If your business trades with a sister or parent company abroad, KRA expects proof that the prices are fair. This is known as transfer pricing. We prepare that paperwork and set sensible pricing policies, so your records are ready if KRA asks.
Stay compliant.
Stay tax efficient.
Compliant and Tax Efficient
We apply the allowances and deductions the law provides, so your tax position is both compliant and efficient.
Deadlines Taken Care Of
We track every filing date for you, so returns go in on time and late penalties stop eating into your profit.
Ready If KRA Calls
We keep your records in order, so if KRA picks you for an audit, we can answer every question. What feels frightening becomes routine.
