Living there

Residents of Kenya are liable to tax derived from sources in Kenya and on worldwide income. Worldwide income is limited only to income earned from employment or rendering services abroad and on income from a business carried partly within and partly outside Kenya.

Income tax rates vary depending on the source of income.

Rental Income

Rental income of resident individuals is subject to income tax. However, rental income is taxed as a separate source of income.
