CEO Roundtable with ALN Kenya
Navigating Emerging Tax Trends
This morning, in collaboration with ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna, we convened CEOs and senior leaders for a roundtable on Navigating Emerging Tax Trends.
The session was kicked off by our Director Domitille Guilloton. With expert perspectives from Daniel Ngumy, Managing Partner, James Karanja,Tax Associate Director and Kenneth Njuguna, Partner, we explored how Kenya's fiscal environment is shifting and why leadership must shift with it.
Key Takeaways:
Kenya’s budget has grown significantly over the past few years, yet revenue collection has struggled to keep pace, creating persistent fiscal deficits. It is clear that we are operating in an era where stability requires preparation, not reaction.
CEOs can no longer afford to monitor policy from the sidelines; it must be built into strategic planning.
Compliance and tax planning are no longer operational checklists, they are strategic levers that shape competitiveness, investment decisions and long-term sustainability.
With the introduction of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax in 2025, multinational groups must rethink structures, incentives and their tax narrative.
Transfer pricing once viewed as a highly technical niche is increasingly a boardroom priority, with KRA sharpening its focus and assessments rising into the billions.
Tax exposure today can arise even without physical presence and decisions made in boardrooms abroad may trigger liabilities at home.
Governance, documentation and clear decision pathways matter more than ever.
Tax is no longer just about compliance, it is about narrative, strategy and leadership. Those who anticipate, engage early and build transparency into their operations won’t just comply they will stay ahead.
A special thank you to the ALN Kenya team and to all our Partners and Members who joined us.
