Digital Service Tax

Price: KES 5,800

Digital Service Tax (DST) is a tax payable at the rate of 1.5% on the gross transaction value of income derived or accrued in Kenya from services offered through a digital marketplace and is due on or before the 20th day of the following month that the digital service was offered.

It is a type of advance tax for residents, meaning that a person filing their annual income tax return can utilize the DST paid as a credit to reduce their total tax liability. However, DST is a final tax for non-resident digital service providers without a permanent establishment in Kenya.

There’s a late payment penalty and interest of 5% and 1% of the tax due per month, respectively.

DST is not applicable to income that has already been subjected to withholding tax.
