๐ After Tax Season in Kenya: Whatโs 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, weโve outlined a practical checklist for both accountants and taxpayers to navigate the post-tax season period effectively.
โ
FOR ACCOUNTANTS & TAX PROFESSIONALS
1. Tax Reconciliations & Record Keeping
โ Ensure VAT, PAYE, Income Tax returns align with the client's accounting books.
โ File and back up receipts, invoices, and tax schedulesโretain for at least 5 years (KRA requirement).
2. Client Advisory & Strategy
โ Send advisory letters summarizing:
โ Taxes filed
โ Refunds or liabilities
โ Compliance risks or red flags
โ Recommend new strategies: restructuring, allowable deductions, and cost-saving opportunities.
3. Penalties & Waivers
โ Identify late filings or underpayments.
โ Apply for waivers via iTax (especially for delays caused by system issues).
4. Prepare for KRA Audits & Compliance Reviews
โ Be audit-ready: verify VAT declarations vs. actuals.
โ Confirm proper WHT (Withholding Tax) compliance.
5. Client System Year-End Clean-Up
โ Close books for the financial year.
โ Archive documents and start fresh with new ledgers.
โ
FOR TAXPAYERS (Businesses & Individuals)
1. Confirm Acknowledgment Receipts
โ Log into iTax and download your TCC and return acknowledgment slips for your records.
2. Apply for Refunds (If Applicable)
โ If eligible, submit refund claims for VAT or PAYE via iTax.
โ Attach required documents:
โ VAT input schedules
โ PAYE summaries
โ Bank confirmations
3. Review & Plan for the New Year
โ Assess what worked or failed (e.g., missed deadlines, poor record keeping).
โ Automate processes using tools like QuickBooks, Zoho, or Excel.
4. eTIMS Compliance (For Businesses)
โ From 2024, eTIMS is mandatory.
โ Not onboarded? Let Litmo help you integrate and issue compliant tax invoices.
5. Update KRA PIN & Business Details
โ Confirm your business name, address, email, and director information are up to date.

At Litmo Consulting , we understand that internal auditors come in all shapes and styles. Some uncover real value, while others just skim the surface. Each brings a unique energy into the audit room. Letโs explore four common types:
๐ 1. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ญ & ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ
Traits: Observant, sharp, diplomatic
Style: Quiet operator who asks the right questions at just the right time.
Effect: Leaves behind clear, valuable findings without causing a stir โ often before anyone realizes what just happened!
๐ฅ 2. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ & ๐
๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ
Traits: Assertive, energetic, direct
Style: Walks in like a detective, points fingers, and calls out "control failure" before the walkthrough ends.
Effect: Either solves the issue... or becomes one ๐ฌ
๐ถ 3. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ฒ & ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐
Traits: Timid, overly agreeable, unsure
Style: Nods a lot, avoids conflict, and accepts surface-level answers.
Effect: Nice report, no real impact. Just visitingโnot auditing.
๐ค 4. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐จ ๐
๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ
Traits: Sociable, eager to please, boundary-blind
Style: Makes friends quickly, avoids tough conversations, and takes too many โchai breaks.โ
Effect: Independence is compromised. It turns into a PR visit instead of a real audit.
โ
At ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ , we promote professional, independent, and value-driven audits.
Which auditor type do you think brings the most value? Let us know in the comments!

Did you know that poor bookkeeping is one of the top reasons small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya struggle with cash flow, tax compliance, and financial planning?
At Litmo Business Consulting, we constantly work with businesses that face setbacks not due to lack of profit, but due to poor recordkeeping. Whether you run a small shop in Nairobi, a consultancy in Mombasa, or an online business across Kenya, proper bookkeeping is no longer optional, itโs essential.
Hereโs what every business owner should understand about bookkeeping:
๐. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ค๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ.
Bookkeeping is not just about recording sales or expenses. Itโs the systematic tracking of all financial transactionsโsales, purchases, liabilities, assets, and equity. It helps you understand your true business position and gives clarity when making strategic decisions.
๐. ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ค๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ง-๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฒ๐.
In Kenya, compliance with KRA (Kenya Revenue Authority) is mandatory. From filing VAT and PAYE to Withholding Tax and income returns, having organized records is critical. Without proper books, you risk fines, penalties, or even audits that could cripple your operations.

Accurate bookkeeping improves your cash flow management, enables better forecasting, and makes it easier to apply for loans or attract investors. It also simplifies year-end audits and gives you peace of mind when dealing with tax authorities.
