TikTok is now requesting Kenyan content creators to submit their tax details, including personal and residency information, to comply with new tax regulations introduced by Kenya.

• A 5% withholding tax for residents and 20% for non-residents will be applied to digital content income starting from July 2023, as mandated by the Finance Bill 2023.
• This affects earnings from monetization features like LIVE and video gifts, subscriptions, and the Work With Artist program.
• The new tax collection system, which commenced in December 2024, holds digital platform operators responsible for tax deductions, regardless of their location.
