In the intricate world of business, there’s one unwelcome visitor that can bring stress, sleepless nights, and financial strain: tax troubles. While nobody enjoys thinking about tax matters, being proactive rather than reactive is often the difference between smooth operations and facing the daunting knock on your door from the taxman. This is especially true when it comes to keeping your tax records up to date with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

You might be diligent in paying your taxes and filing your returns on time, but the truth is, your company’s records at KRA may not always be accurately updated. The result? Tax liabilities could be wrongly attributed due to unrecorded tax payments, and penalties and interest might accrue, further exacerbating the figures.

Filing your returns is merely one step in the process – it’s not enough. To maintain control over your tax affairs, your finance team needs to take proactive measures. Regularly visiting KRA offices, obtaining statements from iTAX, and meticulously reconciling them are crucial steps. This practice helps identify and rectify discrepancies while time is still on your side.

Imagine this scenario: you urgently need a tax compliance certificate for an essential public bid. However, the system indicates you have tax liabilities, leading to a declined certificate. Now, you’re faced with two unappealing choices:

Pay the erroneous tax dues to quickly secure the compliance certificate for the bid, potentially straining your cash flow.
Engage your finance team or tax consultant to initiate a thorough reconciliation process. While this is the right path for accuracy, it takes time – time you might not have before the bid deadline.
Both options pose challenges – either financial strain or missing out on a crucial opportunity. As entrepreneurs, our focus should be on achieving business goals, not firefighting tax-related crises.
