Dennykins & Associates offers comprehensive tax dispute resolution services in Kenya. We are a leading tax consulting firm committed to helping individuals and businesses manage and resolve disputes with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Tax compliance can be complex, and KRA audits or assessments can be intimidating if handled without proper guidance. Our expert team brings knowledge, legal insight, and experience to protect your rights and achieve favorable outcomes.

Whether you’re dealing with unexpected tax assessments, alleged non-compliance, or a formal tax investigation, we offer effective solutions tailored to your unique circumstances. We aim to ensure full compliance with Kenya’s tax laws while minimizing the financial and legal impact on your business or personal affairs.

Tax disputes arise when there is a disagreement between a taxpayer and KRA regarding tax liability. This could relate to the amount of tax due, application of exemptions or deductions, or the interpretation of tax law. Common causes include audit findings, late or incorrect filings, and perceived tax evasion. Tax disputes may lead to legal action, penalties, or seizure of assets if not addressed promptly.

Under Kenyan tax law, all taxpayers have the right to object to assessments or penalties issued by KRA. However, the objection process is governed by strict timelines and procedural rules. Failure to act correctly or on time may result in enforcement actions. At Dennykins & Associates, we guide you through every step of the process to safeguard your business or individual interests.
