Title What duties and taxes are local manufacturers liable to
Description

Taxes due are specific to the product. Reference to the EAC external tariff will aid taxpayer in knowing the tariff classification and thus the duty band for import duty purpose, this is read together with the VAT Act to inform if VAT is due on the product imported. The Miscellaneous fees and levies Act informs on IDF (import declaration form), MSL (miscellaneous shippers levy), Railway Development Levy and other levies that KRA collects on behalf of other agencies.


However, for Registered Manufactures the IDF & RDL is currently at 1.5% each (the manufacturer has to be registered under KAM).


As mentioned above, the kind of machine will determine the taxes due.
