Experience in Taxation

The lead consultant, Charles Mukangu, was trained at the Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA) for 2 Years (2003 to 2005), in, Income Tax law, Value Added Tax, Road Transport Regulations and Customs Laws and Regulations. Thereafter he worked at the Customs and Border Control Department for 14 years. (2005-2019)
 He worked in the field for eight years conducting physical verification of consignments, valuation of imports, online input of verification findings and scanning of exports, processing of inbound foreign passengers, risk analysis of incoming foreign passengers based on pre-determined profiles and intelligence.
Six years was spent at the Document Processing Centre (DPC)at Times Towers. DPC is the nerve centre of all customs operations in the country. This is the office that processes, documentation for all customs entry and exit declarations, which includes, exports, imports, warehousing, transhipments, temporary imports, ex-warehouse imports, EPZ exports, transit goods, re-warehousing etc.
At DPC the Declarations and supporting documents, submitted online, are analysed, for , accurate description, correct valuation as per market values, accurate commodity classification, adherence to Customs Laws and regulations and thereafter passed for onward verification and release in the field. That is approximately 140,000 different types of import/export documents handled/processed in six years.
In the course of my stay at KRA, I worked with the Uganda Revenue Authority officers at Malaba Border station, certifying exit and entry of consignments in transit for the East African Community, partner states, which are Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, Burundi, South Sudan and Tanzania.
