How do I object to a KRA tax decision?

You file a formal notice of objection via iTax within 30 days of receiving the decision, stating your grounds and supporting documents. Dennykins helps draft and submit the objection.

What is ADR in KRA tax disputes?

ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) is a mediation process used to resolve tax disputes without litigation. Dennykins acts as your representative in ADR processes with KRA.

What is the timeline for KRA objection decisions?

KRA is required to decide on objections within 60 days under the Tax Procedures Act. If no decision is made, the objection may be deemed allowed. Dennykins tracks these timelines for clients.

KRA Tax Dispute Resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Kenya

Tax disputes in Kenya arise when a taxpayer disagrees with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regarding assessed taxes, penalties, interests, or other determinations under the tax laws.
The Tax Procedures Act, 2015, and the Tax Appeals Tribunal Act, 2013, set out the legal framework for resolving such disputes — whether administratively, through the Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT), the High Court, the Court of Appeal, or via Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) under the KRA ADR Framework.

At Dennykins & Associates, we specialize in KRA tax dispute resolution and ADR services, guiding individuals and businesses through every stage of the process — from objections to appeals and negotiated settlements — ensuring compliance with the Tax Procedures Act and a fair outcome for our clients.

What is a Tax Dispute?

A tax dispute occurs when a taxpayer disagrees with KRA on tax matters such as:

Assessed additional tax or penalties
Disallowed input VAT or expenses
Omitted returns or late filing notices
VAT refunds that are held or rejected
Inclusion in enforcement programs like the VAT Special Table
PIN suspensions or bank account freezing

If not addressed professionally and within statutory timelines, these disputes can lead to asset seizures, reputational damage, and prosecution.

Our Tax Dispute Resolution Services

Objection Filing (Section 51, Tax Procedures Act)

We draft and submit legally valid objections against tax assessments — backed with documentation, financial analysis, and clear argumentation as per KRA formats.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

We facilitate ADR sessions with KRA legal and audit teams to resolve disputes faster, avoid litigation, and preserve business continuity.

Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT) Representation

Where objections are rejected or unresolved, we represent clients at the TAT with structured submissions, evidence files, and oral hearings — pursuing justice beyond administrative review.

High Court Escalation

Where TAT rulings are unfavorable, we file petitions to the High Court, collaborating with seasoned tax advocates and ensuring statutory timelines are met.

VAT Special Table Advisory

We offer professional support to clients added to KRA’s VAT Special Table — helping you understand the restrictions, respond to disallowed VAT claims, and apply for removal.

Tax Health Checks

We review your books and filings for potential risks and exposures — before KRA does. Our internal assessments are especially helpful before audits, major transactions, or strategic business decisions.

What You Need for VAT Special Table Removal

Proof of TIMS/eTIMS onboarding
Updated CR12 and certificate of incorporation
Sample VAT-compliant invoices
Verified contact & location details
Valid tax compliance certificates (TCCs)
Business permit, ID/passports of directors
Bank statements (12 months)

Common Causes of Tax Disputes in Kenya
