Engaging a specialized legal firm for business vehicle sale agreement Kenya ensures that the transaction complies with all relevant legislation, including the Companies Act, 2015, the Traffic Act (Cap 403), and tax regulations enforced by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

The Importance of a Legally Sound Business Vehicle Sale Agreement

Selling business vehicles involves more than just handing over keys; it requires adherence to corporate governance and property transfer laws. A well-drafted business vehicle sale agreement executed by a reputable legal firm Kenya ensures that the sale is legally binding, clearly defines the terms, and allocates responsibilities appropriately. This protects your business from potential liabilities arising from undisclosed issues, disputes over payment, or improper transfer of title by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). For companies, internal procedures often require specific board resolutions as stipulated by the Companies Act, 2015, which must be reflected in the sale documentation. Our expertise ensures these corporate formalities are met alongside property law requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before selling a business vehicle, a company must typically pass a board resolution authorizing the sale, especially for significant assets.

Our firm can advise on these internal requirements.
Businesses selling vehicles may be liable for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on any profit made from the sale, as administered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
