The National Assembly is set to vote today on the Finance Bill, 2026, which focuses on enhancing tax enforcement and KRA powers rather than broad tax increases.

• The bill proposes reinstating the residential rental income tax rate to 10 per cent and expanding withholding tax to cover certain card transaction fees.
• Key entities involved include the National Assembly, Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
• Notable measures include requiring Virtual Asset Service Providers to submit annual user reports and allowing the KRA to issue agency recovery notices even during objections or appeals.
