Title Is foreign income taxable in Kenya?
Description

Kenya operates a source based tax system, meaning that income is only subject to tax in Kenya if it accrued in or was derived from Kenya.


However, there are a few exceptions to this rule such that income earned outside Kenya is taxable in Kenya. 



  1.  In the case of employment income earned outside Kenya by a Kenyan resident individual

  2. In the case of business income where a Kenyan person carried on their business partly in Kenya and partly outside Kenya.
