@accelriskconsult, I appreciate your suggestion. My Google search for N.T.T Simiyu turned up two books; Income Tax in Kenya and Taxation in Kenya. The latter is the more recent of the two (1998) so I will go with that. Are you N.T.T Simiyu by any chance?Anxious

@Toxicity, clearly I am making progress. And yes, I will rent you the books! smile



smile No Sepukku.

I read his Income Tax in Kenya while I was studying for my B.Com and understood tax so well that I did not need to read again for my CPA exams (except for 4 hrs of revision a day before the exams - and checking the new rates) which I did 2 years after graduating. 10 years after University, I still apply what I read then. I have made my employer significant savings on tax in the last year even though I am not even a tax professional and I have never practiced in tax. I just find it highly applicable-- even at the airport when KRA staff try to confuse you!

I like your your approach.

I am inspired. I'm getting me the book soon and once I am done reading it I will post back here to say how I like it.

I had this book too for my CPA but gave it out afterwards. Am wondering if there is an updated version say 2005 onwards.

try a book called ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE for Non-Specialists - Atrill & McLaney....

I have it and can 'lend' you and electronic copy of the same as long as its for "Research Purpose"..though it has no information on Tax....

I suggest Financial Accounting by Frank Wood (for objective reading) or Accounting Simplified By Saleemi (for CPA exam passing oriented reading). For taxation get an accountant coz there is no book that covers both VAT and Income tax


According to the bookshop attendant, Frank Wood never wrote a book by the title "Financial Accounting". He says maybe "Business Accounting 1 and 2". Google seems to corroborate him. Did you perhaps get the title wrong or is the bookshop man making a mistake?
