A tax review is easier to manage when records are complete and responsibilities are clear. Begin by reading the KRA request carefully, confirming the periods and taxes involved and recording all response deadlines.

What to focus on

Reconcile filed returns to the general ledger, financial statements, payroll and supporting schedules. Identify differences before submitting information and document reasonable explanations with evidence.

Create an indexed response file containing returns, reconciliations, invoices, contracts, bank evidence and correspondence. Ensure communication is accurate, consistent and approved by the appropriate person.

Do not ignore unclear or disputed points. Obtain professional advice early, preserve correspondence and follow the formal objection or dispute process where necessary.
