TAX Payment :
Mode of payment :
The Commissioner is empowered to prescribe the conditions and procedures governing the payment of Advance Tax. Currently, the tax is paid at the time of obtaining the PSV license (in the case of conductors and drivers) and at the time of booking for inspection (in the case of commercial vehicle).

Payments are made at all KRA offices where PSV licenses are issued and from designated Domestic Taxes Department offices.

Where the receiving office is not computerized, a manual receipt is issued and the vehicle owner should give all his particulars – full names, Personal Identification Number (PIN), vehicle registration number and address to facilitate issuance of a computerized receipt. This should be received by the vehicle owner within a short period.

How VAT Works :
Once you are registered you will be required to charge, collect and account for VAT on your taxable supplies and remit the tax to the Commissioner of Domestic Taxes.

As a registered person you are also legally bound to submit online monthly returns (VAT 3’s) with details of tax on goods and services charged to your customers (output tax) and tax on goods and services charged by your suppliers (input tax).

Whenever you make a taxable supply, the supply is your output and the tax you charge is your output tax. If you purchase taxable supplies for furtherance of your business the supply is your input and the tax you pay is your input tax.
