What’s Going On: PwC Tax Alerts Uncovered
PwC’s Tax Alerts serve as high-speed, reliable updates on evolving tax laws, policy trends, and compliance pitfalls—locally and across the globe. Think of them as your tax early-warning system, updated by experts to help businesses stay ahead, not scramble.
Latest Highlights from PwC Kenya
According to PwC Kenya’s recent Tax Alert (July 24, 2025), one of the most notable developments in the Finance Act 2025 is the introduction of Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs), effective 1 January 2026. These allow multinational companies to pre-agree on transfer pricing terms for up to five years, reducing audit risk and boosting certainty.
PwC’s Tax Reporting & Strategy team also rolled out the 2025 Tax Calendar, outlining crucial tax deadlines for both corporate and individual filers in Kenya, based on the latest legal framework.
And let’s not forget the Tax Case Summaries Issue No. 10/2025 (June 2025), which highlights KRA’s Tax Appeals Tribunal ruling that penal interest on late loan repayments is not subject to excise duty, offering a new precedent for banks and financial institutions.
