By Imeka Team | April 17, 2025

Effective tax planning can save your business thousands and reduce compliance risks. Here’s how to optimize your strategy:

1. Track All Deductibles

Whether you're in Kigali or Nairobi, keep a clear record of deductible expenses like travel, software, and employee benefits.

2. Choose the Right Tax Structure

Are you registered as a sole proprietor, LLC, or partnership? The wrong structure could be costing you.

3. Take Advantage of Tax Holidays

Rwanda and Kenya offer incentives for new industries. Don't miss out.

4. Automate Your Tax Records

Use cloud tools like QuickBooks or Xero. You’ll save time and avoid year-end scrambling.

5. Consult Early
