Treasury plans to introduce 16% VAT on payment platforms like M-Pesa, Airtel Money and Pesapal in the Finance Bill 2026.

While Treasury says the tax targets platform providers, experts warn the cost could still be passed to users through higher transaction fees.

[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

Unfortunately,

Even MPs have not grasped how dangerous this proposal is.

• It elevates KRA above the law.

If it passes, no one is safe. Big or small.

- Summon your MP.

- Email your objections now to the finance committee:

The Finance Bill 2026 is now targeting the very systems ordinary Kenyans use to survive daily.

Treasury plans to impose 16% VAT on payment platforms like Safaricom PLC M-Pesa, Airtel Money and Pesapal. They claim the tax is aimed at platform providers, but every Kenyan knows corporations rarely absorb new taxes quietly. The burden is almost always transferred to wananchi through higher transaction fees.

For millions of Kenyans, mobile money is not a luxury. It is the economy itself. It is how workers send school fees, how families buy food, how SMEs survive, and how emergencies are handled instantly.

Instead of reducing the cost of living, the government appears determined to tax every breath of economic activity left in the country.

Finance Bill 2026 wants full suspension of data protection Act.

Here is how.

1. System Integration (Section 59A)

If your business sells over 5M annually:

• You shall connect your accounting system to KRA. Be it QuickBooks, zoho, etc
• To give KRA live feed of your transactions

Fail to comply: 100K penalty every month.

2. Crypto Reporting (Sections 6C & 6D)

• Kenyan crypto platforms must report all users trading history to KRA.

Fail to file: 1M penalty

3. Pre - filled Tax Returns

• KRA will generate tax returns for you based on any info available to them.

Meaning:

- KRA shall decide your tax bill
- You must prove them wrong
(Like what Shuru sent you on whatsapp)

4. Data Sources (Section 29A)

KRA can assess you using:

- eTIMS data
- Mpesa & Bank information
- Audits & inspections of related parties. eg your spouse, parents, customers, suppliers, etc
- Other govt system integrations. eg NTSA, Lands, KPLC, etc

5. Physical & Digital Access (Sections 58–60)

• KRA can enter your premises
• Inspect records
• Demand computer passwords & decryption keys
• Seize documents with a warrant

Meaning: KRA wants full suspension of data protection Act.

Yvonne Okwara: What do you think is the solution to the rising cost of fuel which drives many other products?

William Ruto: I think we need to look at taxes. Because in this country almost 50% of the cost of fuel is taxes.

4 years into office?......A lying machine!
