Corporate Tax Planning Services in Kenya
Effective corporate tax planning is about structuring your business operations, transactions, and investments to minimize your overall tax burden while remaining fully compliant with the law. In Kenya, the corporate income tax rate is 30%, but the effective rate a company pays is significantly influenced by the deductions, incentives, and reliefs it claims.
LHK Advocates advises companies on strategic tax planning across all major tax types including corporate income tax, withholding tax, VAT, excise duty, and customs duty. We work with businesses to identify legitimate tax-saving opportunities, structure transactions efficiently, and plan for the tax implications of corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings.
Kenya offers various tax incentives for specific sectors and activities, including Special Economic Zone benefits, investment deductions for manufacturing, reduced rates for export processing zone enterprises, and tax holidays for certain categories of investors under the Investment Promotion Act. We help companies qualify for and maximize these incentives.
