Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on fees, documents, deadlines and how we work. Not here? Ask us.
How much does it cost to file my tax return?
Our fees are listed on each service card in Tax returns:
- Individual return, nil or P9 only: Ksh 1,000
- Individual return, P9 and withholding tax: Ksh 5,000
- Individual return, business: Ksh 7,500
- Corporate returns and KRA access recovery: contact us for pricing
If your situation needs more work than the card covers, we tell you first and agree the fee before we start.
What do I need to send you to file my return?
Every return needs your KRA PIN and iTax password. After that it depends on the return: a P9 form for employed individuals, a withholding tax certificate where it applies, and financial statements plus supporting documents for business and corporate returns. Nil returns need nothing more.
I have no income, or I am a student. Do I still need to file?
If you hold a KRA PIN, KRA expects a return from you each year, even with no income. Our nil return service is Ksh 1,000.
When are my tax returns due?
Individual income tax returns are due by 30 June after the year ends. Company returns are due six months after the end of the accounting period. VAT and PAYE are monthly, due by the 20th of the following month. Tax rules change, so we confirm the current dates for your case when you get in touch.
I forgot my KRA PIN or iTax password, or I cannot access my email. Can you help?
Yes. Our KRA Access Recovery service covers PIN and password recovery and email reset help. We guide you through each KRA step and file your return once you are back in. Contact us for pricing.
Is it safe to give you my iTax password?
We need it to file on your behalf on iTax. We use it only to prepare and file your return, and our work is bound by the confidentiality requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. We suggest you change your password on iTax once your return has been filed.
I received a letter from KRA. What should I do?
Do not ignore it, and note any deadline it gives. Book a tax consultation and bring the letter. We support clients with assessments, audits and objections.
What is included in monthly bookkeeping?
Up-to-date ledgers, bank and debtor/creditor reconciliations, and monthly reports on profit, cash flow and expenses. See all bookkeeping and accounting services.
My books are months behind. Can you catch up?
Yes. Our Accounts Clean-Up & Catch-Up service works through errors, reconciles gaps and brings months or years of records up to date.
Do you run payroll?
Yes. We process salaries and payslips and prepare statutory deductions and returns, kept confidential. If you employ staff through us under EOR, payroll is part of that service too.
Can you work with a cloud accounting system?
Yes. We help you move to a cloud system or set one up, so you have real-time access to your books and automated reporting.
Do you carry out audits?
No. Audit support is separate from the audit itself, which is carried out by your appointed auditors. We prepare your audit files, schedules and reconciliations, and we answer auditors’ queries so you stay focused on the business.
What is Employer of Record (EOR) and who is it for?
Under an EOR arrangement, Alfa becomes the legal employer of your staff for contracts, payroll and statutory compliance, while you keep control of their work. It suits foreign companies hiring in Kenya, organisations testing a new market, and businesses that prefer not to run HR and payroll in-house. Read more about EOR.
Can I hire in Kenya without a registered company?
Yes. You can employ people in Kenya through us before you register an entity, and we can help you set one up when you are ready.
Which statutory deductions do you handle under EOR?
PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, the Affordable Housing Levy and NITA are calculated, remitted and reported each month. Work permits are handled through specialists we introduce, with your agreement.
Do you work with individuals as well as companies?
Yes. We serve commercial organisations and individuals across Kenya.
How are fees agreed for services other than tax returns?
Scope, service fees and responsibilities are set out in a written agreement before we begin, so you know what is covered and what it costs.
How do I get started, and how quickly will you reply?
Use the contact form, or call or message us on WhatsApp. When you send a request you choose how urgent it is: urgent requests get a response within 24 hours, moderate ones in 2 to 3 days, and non-urgent ones within a week.
