What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Treasury is expected to table a bill in the National Assembly to implement proposed changes to Pay As You Earn (PAYE) in Kenya. The proposal includes a zero per cent tax rate for monthly earnings up to Sh32,333. The changes will also remove personal relief, a tax credit currently used to reduce PAYE payments.

The tax reform aims to reduce the tax burden on lower-income earners. An employee earning Sh32,333 a month could benefit by approximately Sh2,083, potentially increasing household spending. The final impact depends on the provisions of the Bill and its implementation.
