If you earn a basic salary of Sh100,000 a month, you should prepare to part with at least Sh4,380 more in extra-statutory deductions, as President William Ruto raids pay slips in the latest tax proposals set to be considered by parliament.
Calculations by the Business Daily show that the take-home salary of these workers—who fall in the median middle-class family in Nairobi according to computation on expenditure pattern by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) —will reduce from the current average of Sh76,041 to Sh71,661.
