Is tax planning legal in Kenya?
Yes, absolutely. Tax planning — arranging your affairs within the law to minimize tax — is entirely legal and encouraged. What is illegal is tax evasion, which involves concealing income or claiming false deductions. We only recommend legitimate, compliant tax planning strategies.
When should tax planning be done?
Tax planning should be an ongoing process throughout the year, with a formal review before the financial year-end. Planning at year-end is better than no planning, but the most effective strategies are implemented throughout the year.
How much can tax planning save my business?
Savings depend on your business structure, industry, and circumstances. Common savings include maximizing capital allowances, timing expenditure to optimize deductions, and utilizing available exemptions. We provide a projected savings estimate as part of our planning analysis.
What are capital allowances and how do they reduce tax?
Capital allowances are deductions granted for the wear and tear of business assets like machinery, buildings, and vehicles. They reduce your taxable income. Professional planning ensures you claim the maximum allowable rate for each asset class.
