INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountants Act, Laws of Kenya)
Income Tax and Indirect Taxes Seminar-Mandatory Training
Date: 8th – 9th April 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Mode of Delivery: Virtual
(This is one of the mandatory trainings for practicing certificate consideration)
Overview
The ever-changing economic environment, bearing on the Government’s imperatives for revenue, coupled with changes in the global tax environment and advances in the use of technology to administer taxes, continues to redefine the taxation environment in Kenya. The recently enacted amendments to income tax and indirect tax laws have greatly impacted the way business, individuals, and professionals perform their financial reporting and compliance obligations. As the Kenyan government increases its tempo in implementing tax reforms to raise revenue mobilization, especially from domestic sources, taxpayers are increasingly required to demonstrate unprecedented levels of tax literacy, compliance, and moral obligation. In this respect, targeted capacity building for accounting and finance professionals is increasingly warranted to equip them with updated knowledge and practical insights into the changing tax framework.
ICPAK intends to hold a seminar that brings together tax practitioners, accountants, auditors, finance professionals, policymakers, and industry players to discuss emerging developments in income and indirect taxes. The forum will enable review of recent changes in legislation, administrative guidelines, judicial decisions, and best practices on how to plan for and comply with taxes. It shall also provide participants with an opportunity to discuss with experts’ practical challenges that affect business pertaining to, among other areas, tax risk management, tax audits, digital taxation, cross-border taxation challenges, and the shifting landscape of tax policy relative to business sustainability and economic growth.
One key focus will be the recent changes in tax legislation. The seminar will also dig into the complex topic of transfer pricing, focusing on the impact of these regulations on multinational corporations and how businesses can align their policies with international guidelines such as the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) framework. Participants will receive practical guidance on managing transfer pricing risks and ensuring compliance with global standards.
In addition to income tax, the seminar will cover key issues in indirect taxes, starting with the evolving landscape of Value Added Tax (VAT). The session will address the latest updates in VAT regulations, compliance and opportunities for businesses to manage VAT refunds and audits effectively. Further discussions will cover the administration of excise taxes, particularly in light of emerging trends in digital goods and services, as well as the broader impact of excise duties on business profitability.
This seminar will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of income and indirect taxes while ensuring compliance and identifying tax planning opportunities.
