KRA vs. You

You open your payslip, watch PAYE take its share, and wonder whether anyone ever showed you the legal options. Most Kenyans never learn which deductions they can claim, which thresholds matter, or what to do when a KRA letter arrives.

KRA vs. You explains the system in plain language. You will see how KRA really works, set up your PIN and iTax properly, and understand how income tax and PAYE are calculated. The book compares turnover tax with VAT for small businesses, lists allowable deductions many people overlook, and takes the headache out of eTIMS invoicing. There are chapters on sector-specific strategies, on freelance and online income and what KRA expects from it, and on handling audits and disputes legally.

You also get a tax calendar of deadlines and a closing chapter on structuring your business to keep more of what you earn. It stays within Kenyan law throughout and is aimed at employees, business owners, and side hustlers alike.
