In a bid to improve efficiency in tax dispute resolution, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has raised KShs 8.3 billion through the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism, effectively resolving 181 cases as of April 2018. ADR offers taxpayers a faster, more cost-effective path for settling disputes outside the courtroom, emphasizing mutual consent, confidentiality, and non-adversarial resolution—a welcome alternative to prolonged litigation.
For MSM Chris & Associates clients, ADR provides a strategic avenue to achieve fair tax resolutions without the financial strain and time demands of formal litigation. ADR’s framework allows taxpayers to challenge tax assessments with a facilitator’s support, creating a neutral platform to reach an agreeable solution. Provided under Article 159(2)(c) of the Kenyan Constitution and the Tax Procedures Act, ADR enables eligible disputes to be resolved within 90 days, ensuring expedited results.
Our team at MSM Chris & Associates guides clients through each step of the ADR process, from preparing objections to navigating facilitation sessions with KRA representatives. By leveraging our expertise, we assist clients in achieving beneficial outcomes aligned with Kenya’s tax statutes while safeguarding their rights. Through our ADR advisory, clients can confidently approach tax disputes, ensuring their case is effectively presented and that resolutions are both fair and legally compliant.
Engage MSM Chris & Associates to explore ADR as a preferred option for resolving tax disputes. With our support, businesses can reach outcomes that minimize risk, uphold compliance, and foster a smoother relationship with tax authorities.
