The Kenya Revenue Authority's collections from profits and proceeds from asset transfers for companies and other businesses have remained in the single digits for two consecutive years amid a raft of new and higher taxes.

The KRA collected Sh488.10 billion on corporate earnings from operations and capital gains from the transfer of property and shares in the year ended June 2024, up 9.28 percent from Sh446.67 billion a year earlier.
