The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) plans major changes to the Value Added Tax Act by scrapping the KSh5 million annual turnover threshold for VAT registration. This would require all businesses, including micro-enterprises, to charge 16% VAT on taxable goods and services and remit it monthly to KRA. The authority claims it will widen the tax base and boost collections from KSh653 billion to over KSh1 trillion.
