As a small business owner in Kenya, staying compliant with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) can seem daunting. However, maintaining compliance is crucial for the longevity and success of your enterprise. Here's a simplified guide to help you navigate KRA compliance.

Why KRA Compliance Matters

Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties, legal issues, and even the closure of your business. By adhering to KRA regulations, you demonstrate credibility and trustworthiness to clients, partners, and investors.

Key Compliance Requirements

• Tax Registration: All businesses must register for a Tax Identification Number (TIN).
• VAT Registration: If your annual turnover exceeds KES 5,000,000, you're required to register for Value Added Tax (VAT).
• PAYE: If you employ staff, you must deduct and remit Pay As You Earn (PAYE) taxes.
• Withholding Tax: You're responsible for withholding taxes on various transactions like payments to suppliers or service providers.
