Update: New 2018 PAYE Tax Rates
Following the implementation of the Finance Act 2016, new tax rates for Kenyan PAYE came into effect from January 1st 2017. Hence submissions for January 2017 payroll should reflect the new rates. The changes represent a lighter tax burden, albeit minimal, especially for tax payers in the higher income bracket.
Below are the new monthly tax bands:
Monthly Bands of taxable Income (KES) | Tax Rate |
