About this conversation
What if your biggest tax mistake happens before you even start earning? Most people unknowingly ruin their tax standing long before the money comes in. They start businesses, take gigs or get salaried but overlook one crucial thing: clarity on their tax obligations. By the time they’re successful, they’re already playing catch-up with KRA and the cost is heavy. In this honest and eye-opening episode, we break down one of the most quietly dangerous financial pitfalls facing young professionals and entrepreneurs in Kenya: tax non-compliance. Joining us is CPA Fiona Witaba, a seasoned tax expert.
Whether you’re a freelancer, side hustler, creative, salaried employee, or just getting started, this episode is for you.
