Kenya VAT Rates 2025 - Standard, Zero-Rated & Exempt Goods
Comprehensive guide to VAT rates in Kenya. Understand which products are taxed at 16%, which are zero-rated (0%), and which are completely VAT-exempt. Updated with Finance Act 2024 amendments. If you're importing goods, also check our import duty calculator for customs fees, and use the turnover tax calculator for small businesses below VAT threshold.
| Category | VAT Rate | Examples of Products/Services | Can You Claim Input VAT? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Rate | 16% | Electronics, clothing, furniture, professional services, restaurants, construction materials, vehicles | YES | Most goods and services fall under this category |
| Zero-Rated | 0% | Exports, international transport, agricultural inputs (fertilizers, seeds), medical supplies, solar equipment | YES | You charge 0% VAT but can still reclaim input VAT - best for exporters! |
| Exempt | Exempt | Unprocessed agricultural produce, financial services (bank interest), insurance, education services, residential rent, medical services | NO | No VAT charged, but you CANNOT claim input VAT - becomes a cost to your business |
?? Key Difference: Zero-Rated vs Exempt
? Zero-Rated (0%) - BETTER for Business:
- You charge customers 0% VAT
- You CAN reclaim VAT paid on inputs
- Example: Exporter pays KES 16K VAT on materials, charges customer 0%, gets KES 16K refund from KRA
- Result: No VAT burden
? Exempt - WORSE for Business:
- You don't charge customers VAT
- You CANNOT reclaim VAT paid on inputs
- Example: Farmer pays KES 16K VAT on supplies, sells produce exempt, gets KES 0 refund
- Result: VAT becomes a cost (reduces profit)
VAT Calculation Examples by Industry Kenya 2025
Real-world VAT calculations for different businesses. See how VAT works in practice for retail, services, manufacturing, and more.
?? Electronics Retail Store (Standard Rate 16%)
Scenario: You sell a laptop for KES 60,000 (VAT exclusive price)
� Laptop Price (VAT Exclusive): KES 60,000
� VAT at 16%: KES 9,600
� Total Price Customer Pays: KES 69,600
Invoice shows: "Laptop - KES 60,000 + VAT KES 9,600 = Total KES 69,600"
? What You Owe KRA: KES 9,600 collected VAT (minus any input VAT you paid on business expenses)
?? Law Firm / Professional Services (16%)
Scenario: You charge KES 200,000 for legal services (VAT exclusive)
� Legal Fees (VAT Exclusive): KES 200,000
� VAT at 16%: KES 32,000
� Total Invoice to Client: KES 232,000
You can claim back VAT paid on office supplies, rent (if commercial), utilities
? If you paid KES 12,000 input VAT this month, you remit: KES 32,000 - KES 12,000 = KES 20,000 to KRA
??? Construction Contractor (16%)
Scenario: Building contract worth KES 5,000,000 (VAT exclusive)
Output VAT (What you charge):
� Contract Value: KES 5,000,000
� VAT at 16%: KES 800,000
� Total to Client: KES 5,800,000
Input VAT (What you paid):
� Cement, steel, tiles: KES 2M + VAT KES 320,000
� Labor (exempt - no VAT)
� Equipment rental: KES 500K + VAT KES 80,000
� Total Input VAT: KES 400,000
? You remit to KRA: KES 800,000 - KES 400,000 = KES 400,000
??? Restaurant / Hotel (16%)
Scenario: Customer bill KES 5,000 (VAT inclusive - most restaurants show final price)
Method 1 - If price is VAT inclusive:
� Total Bill: KES 5,000
� VAT Exclusive Amount: KES 5,000 � 1.16 = KES 4,310.34
� VAT at 16%: KES 689.66
Receipt shows: "Total: KES 5,000 (includes VAT KES 689.66)"
Common Issue: Some restaurants show prices VAT-exclusive (KES 4,310) then add VAT at checkout (total KES 5,000). Both methods are legal if clearly stated.
?? Exporter (Zero-Rated 0%)
Scenario: You export coffee worth KES 10,000,000 to Europe
Output VAT (What you charge):
� Export Value: KES 10,000,000
� VAT at 0%: KES 0 (zero-rated)
Input VAT (What you paid):
� Packaging materials: KES 500K + VAT KES 80,000
� Transport: KES 300K + VAT KES 48,000
� Total Input VAT: KES 128,000
? You get a REFUND of KES 128,000 from KRA! (Output VAT 0 - Input VAT 128K = -128K refund)
This is why zero-rating is better than exemption - you reclaim all input VAT
7 Costly VAT Mistakes Kenyan Businesses Make
Avoid these expensive errors that trigger KRA audits, penalties, and cash flow problems.
? 1. Not Registering for VAT When You Hit KES 5M Turnover
The Law: You MUST register for VAT within 30 days once your annual turnover exceeds KES 5 million. Businesses below KES 5M can opt for turnover tax instead.
The Penalty: KRA penalty of KES 10,000 + 5% of tax due per month (max 100%) + potential prosecution
Example: Your turnover is KES 7M annually. You don't register. KRA audits you, calculates you owe KES 200K VAT. Penalty = KES 10K + up to KES 200K = KES 210K total!
? Solution: Track your sales monthly using our profit margin calculator. Register immediately when you hit KES 416,667/month (KES 5M � 12) average.
? 2. Missing eTIMS Invoicing Deadlines (2025 Requirement!)
What is eTIMS: Electronic Tax Invoice Management System - mandatory for ALL VAT-registered businesses from January 2024.
The Requirement: Every sale MUST generate an eTIMS invoice in real-time. KRA sees all your sales instantly.
The Penalty: KES 1 million fine or 2 years imprisonment for non-compliance (Tax Procedures Act Section 42A)
? Solution: Get eTIMS-compliant POS/invoicing system. Options: Quickbooks (KES 3K/mo), Zoho Books (KES 2K/mo), or free KRA portal.
? 3. Claiming VAT on Expenses Without Proper Tax Invoices
The Rule: You can ONLY claim input VAT if you have a valid tax invoice with supplier's PIN, VAT amount clearly shown.
What Doesn't Qualify: Receipts saying just "Total KES 5,000" with no VAT breakdown, handwritten notes, supplier not VAT-registered
Example: You spend KES 100K on supplies. Half (KES 50K) are receipts without proper tax invoices. You claim KES 16K VAT. KRA audit disallows KES 8K. You must pay back KES 8K + penalties
? Solution: Always request proper tax invoices. Check supplier is VAT-registered on KRA iTax portal before claiming.
? 4. Late VAT Return Filing (20th of Every Month!)
The Deadline: File AND pay VAT by 20th of following month. January VAT due by 20th February.
The Penalty: 5% of tax due OR KES 10,000 (whichever is higher) for late filing + 1% per month on unpaid tax
Example: You owe KES 50K VAT. You file on 25th (5 days late). Penalty = 5% of KES 50K = KES 2,500 late filing fee + interest
? Solution: Set calendar reminder for 15th of month. File even if you owe zero (Nil return) to avoid penalties.
? 5. Using VAT Collected to Pay Other Business Expenses
The Mistake: Treating VAT collected from customers as "revenue" and spending it on salaries, rent, etc.
Why It's Dangerous: VAT is KRA's money, not yours. When filing date (20th) arrives, you don't have funds to pay.
Real Case: Restaurant collects KES 200K VAT in January. Owner uses it for rent & salaries. 20th Feb comes - no money. Borrows at 15% interest to pay KRA. Loses KES 30K in interest over year!
? Solution: Open separate "VAT Trust Account." Transfer 16% of each sale immediately. Never touch it except to pay KRA.
? 6. Claiming VAT on Exempt Purchases (Agriculture, Education, etc.)
The Error: Assuming all business expenses qualify for VAT refund. Some are exempt by law.
Cannot Claim VAT On:
- Bank interest and loan charges (financial services are exempt)
- Insurance premiums (exempt)
- Residential rent (exempt - but commercial rent has VAT)
- Unprocessed food (maize, beans - exempt, but processed food taxed)
- Education/training fees (exempt)
? Solution: Learn exempt vs taxable supplies. When in doubt, check VAT Act First Schedule (exempt list).
? 7. Not Keeping Records for 5 Years (KRA Audit Trap)
The Law: Tax Procedures Act requires keeping ALL tax records for minimum 5 years.
What Records: Sales invoices, purchase invoices, bank statements, VAT returns, stock records, eTIMS reports
Audit Scenario: KRA audits your 2020 VAT (within 5-year window). You can't find purchase invoices proving KES 500K input VAT claimed. KRA disallows it. You owe KES 80K + penalties!
? Solution: Use cloud accounting software (auto-saves everything). Physical documents = scan and backup to Google Drive/Dropbox monthly.

How do I calculate VAT manually??
To Add VAT (16%) to a price:
VAT Amount = Price � 0.16
Total Price = Price � 1.16
Example: KES 10,000 + 16% VAT = KES 10,000 � 1.16 = KES 11,600
To Remove VAT (16%) from total price:
Price (excl VAT) = Total � 1.16
VAT Amount = Total - (Total � 1.16)
Example: KES 11,600 � 1.16 = KES 10,000 (exclusive price)
?? Quick Tip: Use our calculator above for instant accurate calculations, especially for large amounts or multiple items!
What is Withholding VAT and who deducts it??
Withholding VAT is a mechanism where certain entities deduct a portion of VAT at source when making payments to suppliers.
Withholding VAT Rate: 2% of the taxable value (effective since November 2019)
Who Withholds VAT:
- Government ministries, departments, and agencies
- Public universities and state corporations
- County governments
- Appointed withholding VAT agents (large companies)
How It Works:
- Supplier issues invoice with 16% VAT = KES 16,000 on KES 100,000 supply
- Government entity withholds 2% = KES 2,000
- Supplier receives KES 114,000 (instead of KES 116,000)
- Supplier claims withheld KES 2,000 as credit when filing VAT return
Note: Withholding VAT certificates are issued via iTax and must be claimed in VAT returns.
