Tax Planning & Structuring
Strategic tax solutions that support sustainable business growth
Effective tax planning is about making informed business decisions that are legally compliant, commercially practical and aligned with your long-term objectives, not just cutting liabilities. Business structures, financing, investments and transactions all carry tax consequences, and they are cheapest to address before they happen. We build tax considerations into your decisions across the whole business lifecycle: formation, expansion, restructuring, acquisitions, property investment and succession, identifying the incentives and reliefs the law already gives you.

Frequently asked questions
What is tax planning?
The process of organizing business and financial affairs to legally minimize tax liabilities while remaining fully compliant with applicable tax laws. Done well, it supports better business decisions, improved cash flow and long-term financial sustainability.
Is tax planning legal?
Yes. Tax planning uses legitimate reliefs, incentives and planning opportunities provided under the law. It differs from tax evasion, which is the illegal concealment or misrepresentation of tax obligations. Altic Consult only advises within Kenyan tax legislation and accepted tax principles.
When should a business seek tax planning advice?
Before significant commercial decisions: establishing a business, restructuring, acquiring assets, entering major contracts, raising capital, expanding internationally or disposing of business interests. Early planning usually means better commercial and tax outcomes.
Can you assist foreign investors establishing businesses in Kenya?
Yes. We advise foreign investors on tax-efficient investment structures, corporate tax obligations, withholding taxes, available investment incentives, Double Taxation Agreements and ongoing compliance requirements in Kenya.
How often should a business review its tax strategy?
Continuously rather than annually. We recommend reviews after legislative changes, significant growth, acquisitions, new investments or ownership changes, so your strategy stays effective and aligned with your objectives.
