Built by Tarra Agility — partners who argue these cases before the Tax Appeals Tribunal and the High Court of Kenya.

The Problem

Three facts every Kenyan MNE CFO needs to hold.

Kenya's tax law changes constantly — and changes are immediate.

Finance Acts, TAT rulings, KRA notices, and High Court judgments bind you the day they land — there is no grace period between a new precedent and your exposure.

Your finance team cannot track it and run the business simultaneously.

No in-house team can run the business and monitor a legal landscape that shifts every quarter across six tax heads.

When KRA finds the gap, the penalty compounds from day one.

KRA assessments are presumed correct, and penalties accrue from the original obligation date — not the audit date. There is no voluntary-disclosure safety net.

Always-On Tax Health Check

A traditional tax health check costs millions, takes weeks, and is out of date the day it's delivered.

ATT replaces the one-off engagement model with always-on tax monitoring. The same scope. The same expert certification. But continuous — so your finance team is never exposed to a risk that already has a decided case, a statute, or a KRA notice behind it.

ATT Health Check Finding — Expert Certified

Action required

High RiskCustoms

Every import needs an export declaration from the country of export from 1 September 2026 — or KRA can redetermine your customs value.

The Finance Act 2026 inserts a new section 23B into the Tax Procedures Act, requiring every importer to obtain and retain — for five years — an export declaration or equivalent customs document from the country of export, with prescribed particulars. Where the importer cannot produce it, KRA may reject the declared value, origin, cost or ownership, redetermine the customs value and tax due, and impose administrative penalties. The obligation attaches to the goods, not to intent — good faith with a long-standing supplier does not help if the paperwork is not there.

Legal basis: Finance Act 2026 (Act No. 19 of 2026), new s.23B, Tax Procedures Act · commencement 1 September 2026

Action Required

Identify every supplier from whom you will import after 1 September 2026. Write to each requesting the export declaration or equivalent document from their customs authority, with the prescribed particulars. Amend your standard purchase terms to make provision of the document a condition of payment. Configure five-year retention in your document management system.

Traditional Health Check

✕ One-off engagement — out of date the day it's delivered
✕ 6–8 weeks from kickoff to report
✕ Millions in professional fees per engagement
✕ Large team mobilised each time
✕ New legislation or case law after the report? Start again.

✓ Findings surfaced as risks emerge
✓ From $1,000/year — a fraction of one traditional engagement

From the Founding Cohort

What founding members say after their first health check.

"The TP finding alone — KES 12 million exposure we had not identified — justified the entire engagement within 48 hours of submitting our data. I sent the finding directly to our board."

CFO, Manufacturing subsidiaryNairobi (anonymised, consent obtained)

"What distinguished ATT from every other advisory engagement I have had is that they cited the actual case. Not a general principle — the actual decision, the TAT reference, the holding. That is a different product entirely."

Head of Legal, Financial Services groupNairobi (anonymised, consent obtained)

"We had been relying on our ERP's eTIMS integration and assumed it was covering us. The ATT health check identified 11 suppliers — KES 2.8M in input VAT — that were not on eTIMS. We had no idea."

Finance Director, FMCG subsidiaryNairobi (anonymised, consent obtained)
