Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kenya's VAT registration threshold?

Businesses with annual taxable turnover exceeding KES 5 million are required to register for VAT with KRA.

How do I calculate VAT-exclusive price from a VAT-inclusive price?

Divide the inclusive price by 1.16. For example, KES 116 ÷ 1.16 = KES 100 (net price), and KES 16 is the VAT component.
