KRA penalty waiver application - KES 4,000Client feedback
“I had accumulated late filing penalties over three months - nearly KES 30,000. Smart VAT Kenya handled the waiver application and KRA waived everything except a small admin fee. Worth every shilling.”

Retail Business, Nairobi
“I registered for VAT late and got hit with the KES 100,000 non-registration penalty. I thought I was going to have to pay it all. Their team drafted a solid waiver letter and KRA reduced it significantly.”
James M.
Wholesale Distributor, Mombasa
