Tax Planning & Filing

Pay less tax, legally.

Overview

Proactive tax strategy that minimizes liability

Proactive tax strategy that minimizes your liability year-round — not just at filing time. We identify every deduction, allowance, and optimization opportunity available to your specific business structure and industry under Kenyan tax law. Our tax team doesn't just file your returns; they architect your tax position to keep more money in your company.

The biggest mistake businesses make with taxes is treating them as a year-end event. By the time June arrives, most optimization opportunities have already passed. At PKA, tax planning is a continuous process. We model scenarios quarterly, estimate your tax liability in real-time, and make strategic moves throughout the year — like timing capital purchases, optimizing salary vs dividend splits, and accelerating or deferring income — to minimize what you owe. When filing season comes, your return is essentially already built.

How It Works

Our proven process

Our proven process from start to finish:

1

Tax Health Assessment

We review your last 3 years of returns, current financials, and business structure to identify immediate opportunities and potential risks. This usually uncovers KES 500K+ in missed deductions and allowances.

2

Strategy Development

We build a customized tax plan that maps out moves for each quarter — when to make capital purchases, how to structure director remuneration, how to handle dividends, and which allowances to claim.

3

Quarterly Implementation

Each quarter, we execute the plan, adjust projections based on actual results, and meet with you to discuss any changes in your business that affect your tax position.

4

Filing & Year-End

We prepare and file all returns via iTax, ensure every deduction and allowance is captured, and provide a clear summary of your tax position. If you're audited by KRA, we represent you at no additional cost.
