Tax residency in Kenya
An individual is tax resident in Kenya for a tax year if they have a permanent home in Kenya and are present in Kenya at any time during that year; or, if they do not have a permanent home in Kenya, if they are present in Kenya for 183 days or more in that year; or if they are present in Kenya for an average of more than 122 days in that year and in the two preceding years. For this purpose, a permanent home means a place in Kenya where the individual resides or that is available to the individual for residential purposes in Kenya, or where, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the individual’s personal or economic interests are closest.
