Direct and Indirect Tax Services
Minimise your liabilities. Maximise your compliance. Sleep easy.
Tax in Kenya is complex, and it changes frequently. New Finance Acts, KRA directives, VAT amendments, capital gains adjustments, staying on top of it all is a full-time job. That’s our job.
Our Direct and Indirect Tax services aim to help our clients, both companies and individuals, identify key tax planning opportunities, develop robust tax strategies, and minimise their tax liabilities and obligations, all within the letter and spirit of the law.
We keep track of changes in tax and VAT legislation continuously, so that we are always aware of any direct and indirect tax opportunities (or risks) for our clients. You will never be caught off guard by a regulatory change when CWC is managing your tax affairs.

Why It Matters
Tax is often one of the largest controllable costs in a business. Done reactively, it drains profit and invites penalties. Done proactively, with planning, timely filing and legitimate structuring, it becomes a managed, predictable part of your operations, and often a source of real savings.
