THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA

(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)

PROFESSIONAL FORUM – SOUTH RIFT

 Date: 9th February 2018

VENUE: Sunshine Hotel – Kericho

TIME: 5.30pm to 7.30pm

Introduction

Taxation serves both as a source of revenue to the state and tool for fiscal policy. A good tax regime should raise adequate revenue to the state without placing proportionate burden on the shoulders of the taxpayer. Therefore, the input of tax experts in the formulation and implementation of tax policy is critical. Since many tax-payers are not expert in matters tax, this area provides good opportunity to accountants to offer professional advice and services. Taxation is dynamic with ever changing policies, reforms and even rates. An accountant should be updated all the time on any emerging issues.
