Deze gids biedt een overzicht van de btw in Kenia, inclusief de geldende tarieven, registratievereisten, nalevingsverplichtingen en indieningstermijnen. Hij is bedoeld voor bedrijven die transacties uitvoeren binnen Kenia.
In 2021 heeft Kenia een belasting op digitale diensten ingevoerd, waarmee inkomsten worden gegenereerd uit streaming- en e-commercegiganten.
U moet zich registreren voor btw als uw belastbare leveringen (goederen of diensten) in een periode van 12 maanden 5 miljoen KES of meer bedragen. U kunt ook vrijwillig registratie aanvragen, zelfs als u onder die drempel zit. Niet-ingezeten leveranciers van digitale diensten (via internet of marktplaatsen) moeten zich registreren voor btw, ongeacht die drempel van 5 miljoen KES.
Kenia maakt gebruik van een input-outputsysteem: u betaalt btw over uw aankopen (input) en brengt btw in rekening over uw verkopen (output). Onze input-btw kan worden afgetrokken van uw output-btw om te bepalen hoeveel btw u moet betalen. U hebt geldige belastingfacturen (en een goede administratie) nodig om uw input-btw-claims te staven.
Volgens de btw-regelgeving (Electronic, Internet, and Digital Marketplace Supply) van 2023 zijn niet-ingezeten leveranciers die elektronische of internetgebaseerde leveringen doen aan Keniaanse gebruikers onderworpen aan 16% btw. Voor deze niet-ingezeten leveranciers geldt de gebruikelijke registratiedrempel van 5 miljoen KES niet.
