Training Kenya's Tax Appeals Tribunal

March 2024 began on a high note for us at CFS. Our team led the training of Kenya’s Tax Appeals Tribunal members (29 Jan to 2 Feb). Our training focused on domestic taxation, statutory interpretation and tax judgement writing. This is the first part of the training with several more on advanced taxation which will be taught together with our partners International Lawyers Project (ILP) in the next months. The purpose of the training was to advance the technical understanding of members of the TAT in these areas. Industry experts were also invited to the training to share tax as practised with the participants.
