The Treasury has allowed start-ups operating under Nairobi’s financial hub to pay a lower corporate income tax as part of a strategy aimed at attracting investments into the country.

The incentives to startups under the Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC) have been granted through the newly signed Finance Act 2025, which also grants lucrative tax holidays to larger corporations.
