INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Filing Of Tax Returns- Practical Course
Date: 12th March 2026
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Mode of Delivery: Virtual
Overview
This is a practical course intended to provide finance professionals, accountants, auditors, and business owners with hands-on skills that can enable them to competently navigate through Kenya’s evolving tax compliance environment. As the tax authorities increasingly emphasize accuracy, transparency, and timeliness of submission of returns, organizations and individuals have to fortify their understanding of statutory requirements, apart from the practical processes involved in completing various tax returns. This course has been designed to bridge the gap between theoretical tax knowledge and day-to-day realities associated with filing returns under multiple tax categories.
This will give participants the learning experience that is practical and interactive, similar to a real-life compliance procedure. Through demonstrations, system walkthroughs, and guided exercises, delegates will walk away with confidence in carrying out tasks of tax filing on platforms such as iTax, preparation of supporting documentation, and interpretation of key tax laws that inform filings. The course will also bring into focus common errors, audit triggers, and compliance risks that organizations should proactively look out for to avoid penalties, interest, and reputational exposure.
This course targets professional practitioners in finance, accounting, auditing, tax advisory, compliance, and business operations. It will also be of practical use to entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs who want to meet their tax obligations in an efficient and consistent manner. Delivered over two days, this course simplifies concepts into a structured approach that enables the participants to apply the learned concepts immediately within their work environments. The session also provides ample time for sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and seeking clarification on emerging issues in tax administration.
By the end of the programme, participants will have developed their competence in preparing and filing various tax returns, reconciling records, interpreting relevant legislation, and aligning their processes with best practice. The practical focus of the training will ensure that delegates leave with real skills that enhance not only their individual capability but also that of the organization in terms of tax compliance.
