Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from businesses and individuals in Kenya about tax compliance, KRA requirements, rates, penalties, and how Polico Associates can assist with professional tax consultancy, auditing, and advisory services to ensure smooth operations and optimization.
-
What tax services does Polico Associates provide to
businesses in Kenya?
We provide comprehensive services including KRA PIN registration, tax return filing (corporate, VAT, PAYE, withholding), strategic tax planning to legally minimize liabilities, audit and bookkeeping, ledger reconciliation, compliance advisory on VAT/PAYE/Corporate Tax/Withholding Tax, risk management, and representation during KRA audits or queries — all customized to your business needs in Nairobi and across Kenya.
-
What is the current corporate income tax rate in Kenya?
The standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 30% for resident companies on taxable profits. Non-resident companies (branches/PEs) are generally taxed at 30% (or 37.5% in some cases). Preferential rates apply in sectors like EPZ (0% for first 10 years, then 25%), SEZ (10% for first 10 years, then 15%), or small businesses opting for Turnover Tax at 3% (turnover KES 1–25 million). We help identify applicable incentives.
-
How can professional tax planning help reduce my business tax
burden legally?
Through allowable deductions (e.g., capital allowances, bad debts), claiming incentives/exemptions, optimal business structuring, timing of expenses/income, utilizing loss carry-forwards (limited to 5 years post-2025 changes), and compliance with eTIMS/invoicing rules. Polico Associates ensures strategies are fully KRA-compliant while maximizing savings.
-
What happens if I miss tax filing or payment deadlines with
KRA?
Penalties apply: e.g., late PAYE filing — 25% of tax due or KSh 10,000 (whichever higher); late payment — 5% of tax due + 1% monthly interest; late corporate returns — 5% or KSh 20,000 higher; plus potential restrictions on services (imports/exports, licenses). Proactive compliance with Polico Associates prevents these issues through reminders, accurate filings, and appeals where applicable.
-
What is the current VAT rate in Kenya, and who must register?
The standard VAT rate is 16% on taxable supplies (goods/services). Zero-rated supplies (e.g., exports, certain foods) attract 0%. Registration is mandatory if annual turnover exceeds KES 5 million; voluntary below that for input tax recovery. Monthly VAT returns due by the 20th. We handle VAT filings, reconciliations, and optimization.
-
How does PAYE work for employers in Kenya?
Employers deduct PAYE from employee salaries monthly using progressive rates (10%–35% bands) and remit by the 9th of the following month. Includes benefits/fringe (taxed at corporate rate). Failure attracts high penalties. Polico Associates manages payroll tax compliance, filings, and ensures correct reliefs/deductions are applied.
-
