The Tax Black Book Kenya

Description

Your money. Your business. Understand the tax rules that affect both.

Tax can feel confusing when nobody has explained it clearly. What do the deductions on your payslip mean? Which expenses can your business claim? What is allowed, and what could get you into trouble with KRA?

The Tax Black Book Kenya helps you understand these questions in simple, everyday English. It introduces legal ways to manage your taxes, recognise relevant reliefs and deductions, and make better financial decisions.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn about:

• Your payslip and PAYE: Understand how income tax works and what you are paying.
• Tax reliefs and deductions: Learn what may apply to you and which claims to explore.
• Business taxes: Get clear explanations of business expenses, VAT, turnover tax and capital allowances.
• Side hustles and freelance income: Understand the tax responsibilities that come with earning outside a salary.
• Saving, investing and retirement: Explore how tax affects your plans for the future.
