PwC has an analysis out on Kenyaβs Finance Bill 2026:
Some of the proposals PwC flags include:
β Withholding Taxon merchant service and interchange fees arising from card payments, a move PwC says could raise the cost of digital transactions and cashless payments.
β Expansion of the royalty definition to include software distribution, payment processing systems, payment networks, switching, clearing, and settlement systems, potentially widening Kenyaβs WHT net on cross-border digital services.
β Accelerated tax compliance timelines, including annual returns due by the 4th month after year-end and nil returns within just 1 month after year-end.
β Extension of the tax amnesty programme for interest and penalties on liabilities relating to periods up to 2025, provided settlement is made by 31 December 2026.
β Introduction of a 20% WHT on betting and gaming winnings and 1.5% WHT on scrap metal sales.
β Proposal to increase the deemed dividend threshold, allowing KRA to treat at least 60% of undistributed distributable income as dividends in certain cases.
β Removal of the preferential 5% dividend WHT rate for East African Community citizens, effectively reverting the rate to the general 15% non-resident rate unless treaty relief applies.
β Introduction of a CGT exemption for transfers of property into REITs, a move PwC says could support REIT adoption and improve real estate market liquidity.

EPRA made a big mistake by increasing diesel prices by 40 bob while keeping paraffin the same. The level of fuel adulteration weβre about to see with diesel is going to be crazy. I pity anyone using diesel engines!
