CA services & compliance in Kenya
Key compliance details for Kenya-based capital gains tax clients and businesses.
Living in Kenya doesn't end your Indian tax position: rent, interest, capital gains and other income earned in India is taxed in India, and may need an Indian return even when tax has been deducted.
Where India has a tax treaty (DTAA) with your country of residence, treaty rates apply once you give a Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F. We check whether a treaty covers your income and which relief route applies.
Remittances from an NRO account need Form 15CA, and a CA's Form 15CB above the prescribed limits. NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million a financial year from NRO balances once tax is paid.
Documents, CA review and filing all happen online, with WhatsApp updates — no visit to India needed. We work around your time zone for calls.
