Scope of Our Services
Our Engagement Process
Assessment Review
We review the disputed assessment to identify the basis for objection and the strength of your case.
Objection Filing
We prepare and file a formal objection letter within the statutory deadline (30 days from assessment).
Negotiation
We negotiate with KRA to resolve disputed items, where possible through alternative dispute resolution.
Tribunal Appeal
If negotiation fails, we prepare and lodge an appeal with the Tax Appeals Tribunal and represent you.
Why Professional Assistance Matters
Tax disputes involve strict deadlines, legal procedures, and technical tax arguments. Missing the 30-day objection deadline forfeits your right to dispute an assessment. Professional representation ensures your objection is properly filed, your case is effectively presented, and you achieve the best possible outcome.
What to Expect from Us
- Timely filing of objections within statutory deadlines
- Professional representation in all KRA and Tribunal interactions
- Strategic negotiation to achieve the best resolution
- Clear guidance on the likely outcome and options at each stage

How long do I have to object to a KRA assessment?
Under the Tax Procedures Act, you must file a notice of objection within 30 days of receiving the assessment. This is a strict deadline — missing it forfeits your right to dispute the assessment. Contact us immediately if you receive an assessment you disagree with.
What is the Tax Appeals Tribunal?
The Tax Appeals Tribunal is an independent body that hears disputes between taxpayers and KRA. If KRA rejects your objection, you can appeal to the Tribunal within 30 days. The Tribunal's decision can be further appealed to the High Court.
Can tax disputes be resolved without going to the Tribunal?
Yes. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution with KRA before reaching the Tribunal. We always attempt negotiation first, as it is faster and less costly than litigation.
What if I cannot afford to pay the disputed tax while the dispute is ongoing?
In some cases, KRA may demand payment of the disputed tax before allowing an appeal. We can negotiate for payment to be deferred pending the dispute resolution. Each case is different, and we advise on the best approach for your situation.
