In this article, we highlight the stamp duty exemptions available under Kenya’s Stamp Duty Act (Cap 480, Laws of Kenya) (“the Act”) for companies undertaking group reorganisations. As businesses increasingly restructure to improve efficiency, respond to regulatory changes and simplify corporate structures, it is important to understand the available reliefs under the Act in order to manage transaction costs and preserve tax reliefs.
This article provides a practical overview of these stamp duty exemptions available under the Act, and highlights the key conditions, timelines and compliance considerations that companies should keep in mind when undertaking group reorganisations.
