SUMMARY:The Workshop // Boost Your Basic Tax Compliance Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:A Tax Compliance Knowledge Session on different Tax Requirements and Obligations for Individuals\, Businesses\, Start-ups & Side Hustles. Hosted by Oscar Musyoka\, a Tax Manager at Mawji Sennik.\nEvery year the filing of the Individual self-assessment tax return to be submitted by the 30th of June brings with it dread\, confusion\, anxiety\, and haste.\nIn pre-pandemic years\, last-minute taxpayer queues went around the block and then some. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) iTax systems crashed and many were fined for their tardiness in the filing. Yet unknown to many the required filing can be done from January in the year following the year the income was earned. \nTaxation in Kenya is for the purpose of financing the government’s planned activities. It is Article 209 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 that grants powers for the government to impose taxes as a revenue source by both the national and the county governments. While it remains a vital source of revenue\, there have been continuous challenges for KRA to ensure that most taxpayers comply with taxation requirements. It doesn’t help that a myriad of new taxes has been introduced in the last few years. \nIn 2020\, we saw the introduction of the Turnover and Presumptive tax. Then The Digital Service Tax (DST) then came into effect early this year which makes it even more challenging to understand what is required from different sets of taxpayers. However\, ignorance is not an excuse\, and compliance is a must. \nTax compliance is defined as the process of filing returns\, declaring correct tax and payments by the deadlines set.  It requires awareness & education for individuals (employees\, consultants) and enterprises (start-ups\, business) to be confident in their knowledge of tax laws and regulations. \nAt the end of the Know Your Tax Requirements & Obligations session\, as an attendee you will have gained critical knowledge on: \n\nTax compliance requirements for obligations for Individuals\, Businesses\, Start-ups\, Side Hustles\, and the aspect of separate sources of income.\nEmerging trends on tax compliance and measures to put in place to maintain tax compliance status.\nNotable changes in the Finance Bill\, 2021 and how they are going to affect your business or spending patterns.\n\nSign up today!\nWebinar: The Workshop // Boost Your Basic Tax Compliance Knowledge\nSpeaker: Oscar Musyoka - Tax Manager at Mawji Sennik\nDate: Tuesday\, 8th June 2021\nTime: 9:00 am - 10:30 am (EAT)\nRegister here.\nAbout the Speaker \nOscar Musyoka is a seasoned tax professional with extensive experience in the provision of general and specialized tax compliance and tax advisory services across the East African region. \nHe has been involved in offering strategic tax planning and tax advisory services in mergers\, acquisitions & reorganizations\, transfer pricing\, tax health checks &  due diligence reviews\, and routine tax compliance services in various sectors of the economy.

SUMMARY:The Workshop // Know Your Numbers; Know Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Learn how knowing your numbers will help you accelerate your business growth. Hosted by Fridah Ntarangwi – Founder & Managing Partner\, ZidiCircle.\nIn the same way\, you cannot drive a vehicle blindfolded\, you will not be able to run your business without having visibility of its numbers. Understanding your numbers helps you understand your business.\nYour financial numbers always need to be up to date as they let you know critical things about your business. Knowing your numbers can help you better understand if you are on track with your sales goals\, and targets. Knowing your numbers can also help you spot where you might be losing money & keep your costs under control. By just glancing at your numbers\, at any moment\, you will be able to know exactly where you are at\, in regards to your business objectives. \nNumbers in business come in many formats & names such as Cash Flow\, Net Income\, Profit and Loss\, Sales\, Price Point\, Gross Margin & Total Inventory among others. Organizations hire people well versed with numbers\, who are able to look at the data and make recommendations based on the information. They can predict outcomes or impact on your business based on those actions advised. \nYet most entrepreneurs tend not to think of themselves as a ‘numbers person’. They are instead creatives\, innovators\, ideas-people\, marketers\, salespeople who are very social and highly motivated by putting their innovation out there. They might have very little patience or knowledge to look into the weeds of financial statements and accounting. Usually\, they will hire or outsource the numbers part to a numbers person – namely an Accountant. \nHowever\, it is not enough to have an accountant. As a business person\, you need to know the cost structure of your business\, and how you are going to make money. You have come up with a sustainable business model\, and developed great products for your customers. \nBut what about the revenues? What’s your revenue model? What types of revenue streams can you exploit? What are pricing tactics? How do your revenue model and pricing differ from your competitors? How does this differ in a multi-sided market? \nAt the end of the Know Your Numbers; Know Your Business session\, as an attendee you will have gained critical knowledge on: \n\nWhat are your direct revenue streams?\nWhat ancillary revenue streams can you discover?\nWhat pricing approaches can you apply for your products?\nHow do you project your revenues?\n\nSign up today!\nWebinar: The Workshop // Know Your Numbers; Know Your Business\nSpeaker: Fridah Ntarangwi\, Founding & Managing Partner\, ZidiCircle\nDate: Tuesday\, 15th June 2021\nTime: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (EAT)\nRegister here.\nAbout the Speaker\nFridah Ntarangwi\, is the Founding & Managing Partner at Zidicircle.
