Tax receipts from deals in land, houses, and shares in private companies slowed last financial year that ended June 2025, pointing to subdued real estate activity and dwindling investor appetite for private equity deals.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) received Sh20.98 billion from financial and capital transactions — largely real estate transfers and share sales in unlisted companies — in the review period, compared to Sh20.23billion in the year ended June 2024.
