Kenya's Finance Bill 2026 is less aggressive than 2024 — but its digital-economy clauses may be the most consequential of the decade.

I broke down all 124 pages into a plain-English explainer. Three things builders should not miss:

1) VASP returns are now mandatory. Every Kenyan virtual-asset service provider must file annual information returns on every reportable user. Penalties: KSh 100k per false statement (+ up to 3 years jail), KSh 1M for failure to file.

2) "Royalty" now includes payment-card schemes, switching, clearing, settlement systems, proprietary digital platforms — and SaaS distributed via local resellers. Re-paper your distributor contracts.

3) GAAR (Tax Procedures s.18A) lands. Aggressive structuring is now reversible by the Commissioner. Document substance, not form.

Plus: 25% smartphone tax at activation, 20% betting WHT, fuel levy halved, e-mobility VAT free.
