If you import a car today in Kenya, you are likely to pay an amount equal to the purchase price or more as taxes to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), thanks to the exorbitant tax regime.

For instance, if the purchase price of a car is Ksh5 million, you will need at least Ksh5 million to clear the vehicle at the port, making it an expensive affair to own a car in the country.

In one instance, the ownerof Ndovu Cement imported a brand new Lamborghini Urus into the country at a cost of Ksh26 million. For clearance and registration in the country, KRA asked for the same amount of money, making it hard for the owner to register the vehicle in the country.

What is the VAT registration threshold in Kenya?

I was asked by a person who is running a small-scale business. The turnover is approximately Kshs. 2 Million a year. This would be so if by any chance he gets a contract with a big firm. Of course getting such contracts for a small business person is a herculean task in Kenya we live today.

Most of the people he works for are medium companies and his services are vatable. This person is not registered for VAT.

He asked me whether it is compulsory for him to register for VAT.

For once, I do not have an answer for this. I don't know whether whatever answer will come from my mouth will either land him in future problems with the taxman as I have seen some do lately.

But if I may ask, what does KRA consider to be the minimum threshold for compulsory VAT Registration.
