KRA: How to Register for a Personal Income Tax. Individual income tax is also referred to as personal income tax. This type of income tax is levied on an individual’s wages, salaries, and other types of income. This tax is usually a tax the state imposes. Because of exemptions, deductions, and credits, most individuals do not pay taxes on all of their income.

The IRS offers a series of income tax deductions and tax credits that taxpayers can make use of to reduce their taxable income. While a deduction can lower your taxable income and the tax rate that is used to calculate your tax, a tax credit reduces your income tax by giving you a larger refund of your withholding

Procedure on how to Register for a Personal Income Tax in Kenya

  • Employers simply visit one of the Revenue offices fill PAYE return forms which are used to remit the PAYE tax for employees every month.
  • Monthly payments of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax liabilities are to be made on or before the 10th day of the month following the applicable month (e.g. January tax to be remitted by 10th of February).
  • PAYE Taxes are calculated as follows:

After the relief allowance and exemptions (see blow) have been granted, the balance of a taxpayer’s income is taxed on a graduated scale as shown below:

  • First Ksh30,000 of income @7%
  • Next Ksh30,000 of income @ 11%
  • Next Ksh50,000 of income @ 15%
  • Next Ksh50,000 of income @19%
  • Next Ksh.1,60,000 of income @ 21%
  • Above Ksh320,000 of income @ 24%.
