Tax Audit Support

Expert tax advisory and planning tailored to Kenya’s tax environment.

Tax audits by the Kenya Revenue Authority are often triggered by inconsistencies, late filings, unusual deductions, or sector-specific compliance risks. In some cases, audits are random – but many are data-driven and based on risk profiling.

Once initiated, the process typically involves formal notices, document requests, and detailed reviews of your financial records, tax returns, and supporting documentation. Without proper preparation, this can quickly escalate into penalties, additional assessments, or prolonged disputes.

Understanding what triggered the audit—and how to respond—is the first step toward protecting your position.

Frequently Asked Questions on KRA representation

1. What should I do if I receive a KRA audit notification?

Do not respond to KRA directly before consulting a tax advisor. Contact us immediately — we will review the audit notice, advise you on your rights, help you gather the required documents, and represent you throughout the process.

2. What types of KRA audits exist?

KRA conducts desk audits (document review at your office or KRA offices), field audits (at your business premises), and risk-based audits (triggered by KRA’s data analytics). We handle all audit types.

3. Can I negotiate the outcome of a KRA audit?

Yes. Tax audit assessments are not always final. We negotiate with KRA on your behalf, challenge incorrect assessments, and pursue objections and appeals where the audit outcome is unfair or inaccurate.

4. What records must I keep to prepare for a potential audit?

KRA requires businesses to retain records for a minimum of five years. These include financial statements, sales and purchase invoices, bank statements, payroll records, VAT returns, and import/export documents. We advise on and assist with record-keeping compliance.peak to a T
