Professional Tax Advisory & Planning Services

In Kenya, many businesses overpay simply because decisions are made without considering their tax impact. Others wait until filing deadlines, when options are already limited.

Effective tax planning gives you:

  • Visibility on your obligations to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)
  • Legal ways to reduce tax exposure
  • Better cash flow control throughout the year

Done right, it turns tax from a cost into a managed variable.

Tax Advisory for Businesses

We assess your operations in detail:

  • Revenue streams and cost structures
  • Entity setup (sole proprietor, partnership, company)
  • Industry-specific tax treatments and exemptions

From there, we identify practical adjustments that reduce your effective tax rate without creating compliance risk with KRA.

This is not theory.
It’s actionable tax advisory in Kenya, aligned with how your business actually operates.

Tax Planning for Directors, High-Income Earners & Landlords

Personal tax exposure increases with income complexity.
Multiple income streams often mean multiple risks.

We support individuals with:

  • Salary and dividend structuring
  • Rental income planning and compliance
  • Investment and asset tax positioning

Without planning, high earners often:

  • Overpay tax
  • Miss allowable deductions
  • Face scrutiny during KRA reviews

We bring clarity and structure to your personal tax position—so nothing is left exposed.

Structuring Transactions for Tax Efficiency

Every transaction has a tax consequence.
The difference is whether it’s planned — or left to chance.

We guide how you structure:

  • Contracts and revenue recognition
  • Inter-company transactions
  • Cross-border payments and withholding tax exposure

Poor structuring often leads to:

  • Unexpected tax liabilities
  • KRA queries or audits
  • Cash flow strain from unplanned obligations

Well-structured transactions protect your position before issues arise.

What is the difference between tax planning and tax evasion?

Tax planning involves legally arranging your affairs to minimise tax liability using available exemptions, incentives, and allowances provided under Kenyan tax law. Tax evasion is the illegal non-disclosure or misrepresentation of income or assets. Our advisory is 100% legal, defensible, and documented.

When is the best time to engage a tax advisor for planning?

The earlier, the better. Ideally, tax planning should happen at the start of your financial year, before major transactions (mergers, acquisitions, investments), or when your business structure changes. Waiting until year-end significantly limits the options available.

What incentives are available to businesses in Kenya?

Available incentives include capital deductions on machinery and buildings, investment deductions, export processing zone benefits, special economic zone incentives, pioneer status for new industries, preferential rates for newly listed companies, and sector-specific exemptions in agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Can you advise on tax implications of dividends and profit repatriation?

Yes. We advise on dividend withholding tax, profit repatriation tax implications, double taxation agreement benefits, and optimal profit distribution strategies for companies with local and foreign shareholders.
