Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced a tax for Over the Top (OTT) non-resident organisations, including Netflix and Hulu, and other subscription-based services that charge users on a monthly basis, ITWeb reported. Githinji Gathirwa, manager at the policy unit, told an online forum that the revenue collector will come up with guidelines for the new tax.
On 3 May the KRA issued a warning to digital operators and "all individuals who sell products through e-commerce platforms" to declare their revenue and pay tax. KRA said some taxpayers engage in online business but that they do not file returns or pay taxes on the transactions.
