Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy: Kenya Tax Dispute Reduced to ₹26.50 Crore
Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy's Kenya tax dispute demand has been reduced to ₹26.50 Crore from ₹51.10 Crore for the period 2020-2023. The company is evaluating the order and deciding on future actions.
The reduction in tax liability, while positive, still represents a material financial implication for the company.
The tax demand has been significantly reduced, which is a positive development for the company.
Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited has received a revised order from the Commissioner of Legal and Board Services Department, Tax Dispute Resolution Department, Kenya Revenue Authorities. The demand pertaining to calendar years 2020 to 2023 has been reduced from approximately ₹51.10 Crore to approximately ₹26.50 Crore, inclusive of interest and penalty. This reduction is primarily due to a lower attribution of profits to the Kenya branch, consequently reducing corporate tax and withholding tax implications. The demand related to VAT and PAYE remains unchanged.
The company is currently evaluating the order and deciding on the future course of action. This update follows a previous disclosure made on September 18, 2025, and the order is dated December 12, 2025.
