Value Added Tax

Correct classification. Timely filing. Reduced exposure.

VAT Services with MSM Chris

Value Added Tax is one of the most scrutinized areas of tax compliance—and one of the most common sources of penalties. At MSM Chris, we help businesses navigate VAT obligations accurately and efficiently, from registration to monthly filings and input-output reconciliations. Our goal is simple: to keep your VAT processes clean, compliant, and audit-ready.

Our Approach

We take a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to VAT compliance. Our team ensures your VAT returns reflect correct tax treatment of income and expenses, supporting documentation is in place, and deadlines are met consistently. We also assist in managing complex VAT matters such as reverse VAT, exemptions, and sector-specific VAT issues.

Stay Compliant. Avoid Penalties. Recover Input VAT.

Our VAT services help you manage risk and recover what’s due. We provide:

  • VAT registration and deregistration support

  • Monthly VAT return preparation and filing

  • Reconciliation of VAT control accounts with financial statements

  • Review of VAT treatment on income, purchases, and imports

  • Reverse VAT and withholding VAT compliance

  • Support with sector-specific VAT issues (e.g., exempt supplies, zero-rated goods, mixed-use inputs)

  • Filing of VAT refund claims and liaison with KRA for follow-ups

  • VAT health checks and compliance reviews

At MSM Chris, we ensure your VAT obligations are not just met—but optimized, documented, and defensible.
