Tax Disputes

Hassan Luk dispute resolution lawyers focus on the most appropriate form of dispute resolution, in and outside of court, from ADR, arbitration to mediation. Always looking for the best possible outcome.

Tax authorities are becoming more determined in their approach to tax disputes, resulting in rising numbers of audits, adjustments and disputes, as well as cases being brought to court. If you are involved in a dispute, you need to understand how the relevant tax authorities approach disputes and weigh up the different options available to you.

Our team has the required experience in negotiating and resolving tax matters with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and the expertise to protect your business should the matter escalate to a tribunal or court.

Our relationship with the tax authorities is based on mutual respect. We regularly succeed in settling complex disputes, even in situations where a compromise already seemed out of reach.
