📌 After Tax Season in Kenya: What’s Next? | A Guide by Litmo Consulting

As the tax season in Kenya wraps up (typically by 30th June), both individuals and businesses must shift focus to key follow-up actions. These ensure compliance, readiness for audits, and better financial planning for the year ahead.

At Litmo Business Consulting, we’ve outlined a practical checklist for both accountants and taxpayers to navigate the post-tax season period effectively.

✅ FOR ACCOUNTANTS & TAX PROFESSIONALS

1. Tax Reconciliations & Record Keeping
✔ Ensure VAT, PAYE, Income Tax returns align with the client's accounting books.
✔ File and back up receipts, invoices, and tax schedules—retain for at least 5 years (KRA requirement).

2. Client Advisory & Strategy
✔ Send advisory letters summarizing:
– Taxes filed
– Refunds or liabilities
– Compliance risks or red flags
✔ Recommend new strategies: restructuring, allowable deductions, and cost-saving opportunities.

3. Penalties & Waivers
✔ Identify late filings or underpayments.
✔ Apply for waivers via iTax (especially for delays caused by system issues).

4. Prepare for KRA Audits & Compliance Reviews
✔ Be audit-ready: verify VAT declarations vs. actuals.
✔ Confirm proper WHT (Withholding Tax) compliance.

5. Client System Year-End Clean-Up
✔ Close books for the financial year.
✔ Archive documents and start fresh with new ledgers.

✅ FOR TAXPAYERS (Businesses & Individuals)

1. Confirm Acknowledgment Receipts
✔ Log into iTax and download your TCC and return acknowledgment slips for your records.

2. Apply for Refunds (If Applicable)
✔ If eligible, submit refund claims for VAT or PAYE via iTax.
✔ Attach required documents:
– VAT input schedules
– PAYE summaries
– Bank confirmations

3. Review & Plan for the New Year
✔ Assess what worked or failed (e.g., missed deadlines, poor record keeping).
✔ Automate processes using tools like QuickBooks, Zoho, or Excel.

4. eTIMS Compliance (For Businesses)
✔ From 2024, eTIMS is mandatory.
✔ Not onboarded? Let Litmo help you integrate and issue compliant tax invoices.

5. Update KRA PIN & Business Details
✔ Confirm your business name, address, email, and director information are up to date.
