Key facts every Kenyan employee and employer should know.
PAYE is deducted by the employer every month and remitted to KRA by the 9th of the following month.
PAYE is not computed on gross salary. NSSF, SHIF, and AHL contributions first reduce your gross to arrive at taxable income.
Your employer issues a P9 form each year showing cumulative PAYE paid — required for filing your individual income tax return on iTax.
KRA charges a 5% penalty plus 1% interest per month on late PAYE remittances. Accurate, timely filing is non-negotiable.
