Kenya unilaterally introduced income tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) on digital services effective January 2021 and March 2021 respectively. Digital income earned by a non-resident person is not taxed further in Kenya other than DST. However, proponents of the digital tax say this is a fair playground with other non-digital service providers that charge VAT. It’s a matter of time before digital tax is embraced by all countries. KRA projects that the digital tax will boost its revenue targets and also widens the tax base.
