Rate used, current as of July 2026: standard VAT is 16% of the taxable value. A business must register for VAT once annual taxable turnover exceeds KES 5,000,000; below that, registration is optional. Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt and this calculator does not check that for you. This is general information, not tax advice, confirm your specific position with KRA or a licensed tax professional.
