Question?..does or will KRA compel banks to give them information of rental payments to bank accounts? ama how else will they know that I receive rent in my account if I don't declare (I'm not saying I wont declare)..just asking...

They'll ask tenants for their landlord's I'd and pin numbers,so you're better off with jua kali tenants.

Is Residential Building allowed to deduct capital allowance before taxation? NO. If you have references to the Income Tax Act that allow this, please quote it. It applies to factories/ warehouses only.

Allowed capital allowance... usually applied as an expense (depreciation) because it wont make sense to give the allowance after tax, NO??

Kiwaru. That makes sense. Depreciation is allowable income on fixed assets though I could not see a specific reference to it in the KPMG document. I am also not sure the allowable rate per annum.
