Welcome to the world of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya! As a business owner, you understand the complexities that come with managing finances and staying compliant. One crucial aspect is dealing with the Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA). Let's demystify KRA compliance for your SME.

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance isn't just a box-ticking exercise. It helps establish credibility, builds trust with customers and partners, and protects your business from penalties or legal issues. In fact, research shows that 40% of SME failures in Kenya are due to non-compliance.

Getting Started with KRA

First things first: Register with the KRA e-Citizen portal. This digital platform simplifies tax registration and filing for businesses. You'll need essential documents such as your ID, business registration certificate, and tax identification number (TIN).

Understanding Your Tax Obligations

Knowing your tax obligations is vital. Most SMEs in Kenya are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) if their annual turnover exceeds KES 5 million. However, even if you're VAT-exempt, you may still have income tax and National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) contributions.
