HOW IT WORKS
From your records to a filed return.
Four steps from a cold file to a clean certificate — the same path whether you’re filing this year’s return or catching up on several.
- 01Baseline
Review prior filings & iTax status
We pull your iTax history and past returns to see exactly where KRA has you — before a single figure is entered.
- 02Reconciled
Tie the return to your books
The return is reconciled to your accounts, so what you file matches your books — not an estimate.
- 03Filed
Compute & file on iTax
We compute the tax — capital allowances and all — file on iTax, and keep the acknowledgement on record.
- 04ClearedHighlight: Tender-ready
Draw your Tax Compliance Certificate
With the return filed and clean, we draw your TCC — ready for tenders, contracts, and renewals.
The same path 100+ Kenyan companies file by — run by an ICPAK-registered partner, and built to repeat on a retainer.

WHO IT’S FOR
You’ll recognise your company here.
Most companies come to us in one of these four situations. One will sound like yours.
You’re a year or two behind on returns.
We reconstruct the back-years and file them — penalty exposure negotiated with KRA in writing.
You just need this year’s return filed right.
We compute it from your books and file on iTax — with corporate-tax planning if you want to get ahead.
You’re dormant, but KRA still expects a return.
We file the nil return a dormant company still owes — on time, every year it’s required.
You need a Tax Compliance Certificate for a tender.
We clear what’s outstanding and draw your TCC — tender-ready.
Whichever one you are, the same ICPAK-registered partner files it — penalty-free, FY2024/25.

BEFORE YOU FILESIX ANSWERS
The questions that come before the filing.
Straight answers on cost, deadlines, penalties, and the situations that bring most companies to us.
A standalone annual company tax return starts at KSh 5,000 — a minimum package; the exact fee varies after we review your records. For companies on our monthly retainer (from KSh 15,000/mo), the annual return is included.
A company files its income tax return within six months of its financial year-end — so a 31 December year-end means filing by 30 June. We work to your specific year-end, not a generic date.
Filing late costs 5% of the tax due or KSh 20,000 — whichever is higher — plus 1% interest a month until it’s cleared. The earlier we have your records, the more of that we keep off your account.
Yes. A dormant company still owes KRA a nil return each year, and the late-filing penalty applies if you miss it. We file the nil return on time so your PIN stays clean and the company stays in good standing.
Yes — that’s a common starting point. We reconstruct the records first, then file: most two-to-three-year backlogs clear in six to eight weeks, with any penalty exposure negotiated with KRA in writing. You don’t need clean books to start.
On this page, “returns” means your company’s income tax returns to KRA — what most Kenyan businesses mean by “annual returns.” The annual return to the Registrar (BRS) is a separate governance filing; we handle that under Formation & Governance.
