Note:

Landlords with rental income below Kshs. 144,000 or above Kshs. 10 million per year shall be required to file annual income tax returns and declare this rental income together with income from other sources.

What is the Tax Rate?

Residential rental income is charged at a flat rate of 10% on gross rent received per month

It is payable when landlords receive rent from their tenants either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. However, returns must be filed monthly.

 For any month that the landlord does not receive any rent he/she shall file a NIL return.
