THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Tax Management for PBOs Workshop
Date: 26th – 27th July, 2018
Venue: Acacia Premier Hotel, Kisumu
Public benefit organizations differ greatly from profit making entities in more ways than just the sources of income. While businesses operate with the goal of making returns on investments, public benefit organizations are set up with the objective of meeting crucial needs of a country or community’s citizens. It therefore follows that tax compliance and the laws applicable also differ greatly.
Since PBOs are not expected to make profits, income tax generally does not apply. On the other hand, PBOs usually receive funds from donors and some conduct activities to generate income. They also contract employees and purchase inputs among other operational undertakings which subject them to taxes.
Tax compliance can be agonizingly complex especially for PBOs which tend to operate in multiple jurisdictions. It is also a naturally sensitive subject as it touches on finances and noncompliance results in adverse outcomes such as penalties. Ignorance is no defence for noncompliance and professionals in PBO sector are expected to observe the legal requirements. The Tax Management for PBOs Seminar endeavours to educate and update professionals on the dynamic tax compliance requirements as well as any tax planning opportunities regarding PBOs by discussing the areas below:
- Corporate Income Tax exemptions
- Withholding Tax Obligations and Value Added Tax
- Employment Taxes (PAYE)
- KRA in-depth audits
- PBO vs KRA case laws
