The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has called out some employers for illegally denying their workers with disability Sh36,700 monthly tax reliefs as provided in law.

The taxman says it has noticed some employers are not complying with the Persons with Disabilities(PWDs) (Income Tax Deductions and Exemptions) Order, 2010, (Legal Notice No. 36 of 2010), which allows registered PWDs to enjoy income tax exemption on up to Sh150,000 monthly earnings.
