Kenya
Tax Highlights

Any income that is accrued in or derived from Kenya is taxable to Kenya. The income tax for individuals are calculated on a graduated scale from 10% to a maximum of 30%.  A non-resident in Kenya is only subject to pay tax on the income accrued in Kenya, while a Kenyan resident’s worldwide income is taxable.  It is furthermore required from a non-citizen resident to include his/her after-tax foreign-source employment income into his/her Kenya taxable income, while this is not required from a Kenyan citizen.

Tax Residents

A foreigner is considered a non-resident of Kenya when he/she has worked and stayed in the country for not more than 183 days. A person who stays in Kenya for 61 to 182 days in a tax year shall be taxed at 15% or at resident rate, whichever is higher.​ A Non-resident are permitted to claim expenses and donations to save tax, but cannot claim personal reliefs. Remuneration received by a non-resident in Kenya would be excepted from tax if he/she is employed on a short-term contract for 60 days or less in a tax year.

Taxable Income

​

Taxable income includes income received from employment, business or profession, certain investment income, capital gains and more. Income received from an employment can consist of either wages, salary, bonuses, commissions and allowances. 

Traveling, entertainment and similar allowances are taxable if its not a reimbursement. A benefit received from an employment is taxable should the aggregate value exceed KES 36 000 per year, or KES 3000 per month. Should a resident individual receive a pension from a pension fund established outside Kenya shall be deemed to be derived from Kenya to the extent related to employment or services rendered in Kenya
