Trusted KRA Tax Dispute Resolution Services in Kenya
KRA Tax Dispute Resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Kenya
Tax disputes in Kenya arise when a taxpayer disagrees with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regarding assessed taxes, penalties, interest, or other determinations under the tax laws. Such disputes can be complex and, if not handled properly, may result in significant financial liabilities, interest accumulation, and reputational risk.
The legal framework for resolving tax disputes is primarily governed by the Tax Procedures Act, 2015, and the Tax Appeals Tribunal Act, 2013. Disputes can be addressed through several channels:
1. Administrative Resolution – Clarifying or correcting KRA assessments before formal appeals.
2. Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT) – Hears tax dispute appeals in a structured legal process.
3. High Court & Court of Appeal – Judicial review for complex or escalated cases.
4. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – A faster, cost-effective mechanism under KRA to resolve disputes.

A tax dispute refers to a formal disagreement between a taxpayer and the KRA. Common causes include disputes over tax assessments, imposed penalties, interest charges, the interpretation of tax laws, or claims for tax refunds.
Common triggers for disputes—such as assessed penalties, disallowed expenses, or withheld refunds—can, if not professionally addressed within statutory timelines, escalate to severe outcomes including asset seizure, reputational harm, and prosecution.
