Welcome to Lipabiz! In this article, we aim to shed light on one of the most critical aspects of running a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) in Kenya: Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

As a business owner, you're focused on growth, but understanding KRA can feel like a daunting task. However, it doesn't have to be! Let's dive into the world of KRA and explore how it impacts your SME.

What is KRA?

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is a government agency responsible for the collection of taxes in Kenya. They oversee various fiscal matters, including tax payments and compliance for businesses.

Why does it matter to my SME?

Failure to comply with KRA regulations can lead to penalties, fines, and even legal consequences. Compliance is crucial to maintaining a healthy business relationship with the government, ensuring access to essential services, and promoting trust among customers.

Common KRA taxes for SMEs

• Value Added Tax (VAT): Applies to businesses earning KES 1.5 million or more annually.
• Pay As You Earn (PAYE): Mandatory for employers to deduct income tax from employees' salaries and submit them to KRA.
• National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) contributions: Employers are required to pay NHIF contributions for their employees.
