Here’s Kenya’s pathway to a low-tax economy
In Kenya, payslip deductions currently total approximately 40.25 percent, with 6.0 percent allocated to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) savings, leaving an effective tax burden of 34.25 percent.
Efficient Value Added Tax (VAT) collection can sustainably inform a reduction in income tax.
International experience shows that economies which shift the tax burden from labour to consumption record higher compliance, stronger household spending, and broader revenue bases.
