Comprehensive tax services offering clarity, compliance, and sustainable financial outcomes.
We work alongside clients and industry groups to champion changes in tax legislation that promote fairness, transparency, and sustainable fiscal policies. Our lobbying goes beyond compliance we actively engage policymakers, regulators, and parliamentary committees to ensure that the voice of business is heard in shaping the tax agenda.
Through well-researched policy proposals, position papers, and technical submissions, we help influence reforms that address real business challenges while strengthening the overall tax environment. From contributing to the annual Finance Act process to providing input on regional tax measures under the East African Gazette, we play a proactive role in bridging the gap between business needs and effective fiscal governance.
We assist clients in preparing and submitting applications for private rulings, ensuring that facts are presented clearly and aligned with the relevant provisions of tax law and policy. Beyond compliance, our approach emphasizes using private rulings as a strategic tool to provide certainty in complex transactions, giving businesses confidence in both planning and execution.
The implications of obtaining a private ruling go beyond individual transactions they contribute to predictability in the tax system, reduce disputes, and enhance transparency between taxpayers and the revenue authority. For clients, this means greater legal assurance on the tax treatment of arrangements, stronger grounds for strategic decision-making, and reduced exposure to penalties or unforeseen tax liabilities, all while supporting a fair and consistent tax policy framework.
We provide end-to-end advisory on investment opportunities, structuring, and incentive optimization to help businesses maximize the benefits of Kenya’s Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and Export Processing Zones (EPZ). Our team guides investors through gazettement, licensing, and regulatory compliance, while advising on how to leverage key incentives such as reduced corporate tax rates, VAT exemptions, customs duty relief, and tax holidays.
By combining legal, tax, and operational expertise, we design investment structures that minimize costs, enhance competitiveness, and ensure long-term compliance. Whether setting up in an SEZ or EPZ, we give businesses the confidence to expand locally and globally with optimized investment strategies that deliver sustainable growth.
We facilitate the preparation, submission, and follow-up of applications for tax exemptions to ensure our clients maximize their resources and minimize tax burdens. The exemptions we handle include VAT supply exemptions, Income Tax exemptions, and Excise exemptions.
Our role is to guide you through every stage of the process: confirming eligibility, compiling the necessary documentation, submitting the application through iTax or directly to KRA, and managing follow-ups. Once approval is granted, we ensure you receive your exemption certificate and advise on proper usage so that benefits are fully realized. We also assist with renewals to avoid interruptions, ensuring your organization remains compliant and continues to enjoy exemption privileges.
We design and deliver tailored training programs for organizations and their staff, equipping teams with the practical knowledge to navigate evolving tax laws, compliance requirements, and sector-specific challenges. Our sessions are customized to address the latest regulatory shifts, from annual Finance Acts and East African Community tax changes published in the Gazette to global developments driven by OECD guidelines and international best practices.
By staying ahead of legislative and policy updates, we empower teams to confidently manage tax obligations, anticipate reforms, and align internal processes with emerging standards. This proactive approach not only reduces compliance risks but also positions organizations to take advantage of new opportunities created by changes in both local and international tax regimes.
We help organizations develop forward-looking strategies to optimize tax positions, manage liabilities, and enhance long-term sustainability. Our tax planning services align business objectives with regulatory requirements, creating efficiency while safeguarding compliance.
We provide comprehensive advisory on the tax implications of mergers, acquisitions, and corporate reorganizations, guiding businesses through every stage of the transaction from due diligence and risk assessment to deal structuring and post-transaction integration. Our team conducts in-depth tax due diligence to uncover potential liabilities and opportunities, advises on efficient transaction structures to minimize tax exposure, and ensures compliance with both Kenyan tax laws and international best practices.
Beyond tax considerations, we assist in aligning financial reporting, harmonizing internal controls, and ensuring smooth transition of assets, contracts, and employees. Whether you are acquiring, merging, or restructuring, we provide the legal, financial, and operational insights needed to maximize value, reduce risks, and secure long-term business sustainability.
