Yes, sales tax, nhif, nssf, withholding tax and any other industry specific tax.

Your lies spoil your point. NHIF isn't a tax, its insurance. NSSF isn't a tax, its a saving.


Lets agree what a tax is. My understanding of tax is money taken from my earned income by the government or its bodies and its taken before my income is handed over to me and its taken by force. I have no option. Pay or go to jail. Whatever you call it, PAYE, NSSF, NHIF its still deducted from gross income and you have no choice in the matter. You cant say this month ni kunoma sitaki kutoa NSSF. So by my layman understanding NHIF and the rest are taxes.

Shame on you Shame on you This isn't layman but Kuria,Aladwa,Muthama &Duale like thinking.
Tax goes to gvt and you can't utilize it personally. Nssf , nhif are mandatory contributions which you utilize (personally) use when sick and on retirement. Made mandatory to assist you! Civic education is far below in Kenyan society with "educated fools"

NSSF,NHIF = tax, where did that one come from. What next, school fees is tax.

Loan deductions are tax too!Sad

How does the 12% withholding tax on rental income work? I am afraid those paying landlords will be deducting this 12% before VAT and remitting to KRA.

And this is on top of the 10% of gross rental income? Meeeen!

Who has applied for amnesty? Is it automatic? What documents are they requesting for?

You slave all your life (whilst still paying PAYE,income tax etc)to save enough to build nice apartments and after you start enjoying the fruits of your labour the taxman comes for another 10% of your gross income in rentd'oh!
If you find tax loopholes in whatever field take them. Tax man will never stop coming for you.
Now poll booths are on their way despite paying tax on fuel which is supposed to act as a road maintenance levy!!!!
