The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collected Sh2.3 billion from 454 foreign digital service providers operating in the country by the end of August 2025, solidifying its push to maximise benefits from the earnings of multinationals without local subsidiaries.
A significant portion of the amount came from the 1.5 percent Digital Service Tax (DST) that Kenya implemented in June 2020, before it was replaced by the Significant Economic Presence (SEP) Tax, according to KRA data.
