“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.”

Client feedback
Real results from real penalty waiver clients.
“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.”

“The WhatsApp updates made the whole process stress-free. I didn't have to chase anyone — they kept me informed at every stage. My penalty was fully waived in 2 weeks.”

FAQ
Questions about monthly VAT filing.
What if I miss the 20th?+
We never miss it. We file on the 17th, three full working days before the KRA deadline. In the unlikely event we slip, we cover the KES 10,000 penalty out of our own pocket.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. No lock-in contracts. Send us a WhatsApp message and your monthly filings stop from the next cycle. No questions asked.
How do I pay?+
M-PESA is our primary payment method. We send you a payment request each month before filing. You pay, we file. Simple.
Do I need to do anything each month?+
Just send your sales and purchase invoices for the month. We take it from there — we calculate the VAT, file on iTax, and send you the confirmation. It takes about 2 minutes of your time.
What if my VAT liability is zero (nil return)?+
No problem. We still file a nil return on iTax before the 20th. Filing a nil return is just as important as filing a payable one — KRA still penalises KES 10,000 for missing a nil return deadline.
