Finance Bill 2025 · Clause 18 — Digital Levy
Clause 18 proposes a 1.5% digital services levy on gross revenue of online platforms earning over KES 5M annually in Kenya — including social media, e-commerce, and streaming.
Will this affect small online shops?
No. The threshold is KES 5M annual gross revenue. Businesses below this are explicitly exempted under Clause 18(4). This targets large platforms, not SMEs.

Nilikuwa nafikiri Bunge ni kwa watu wa Nairobi peke yao. CivicAI ilinisaidia kuelewa Muswada wa Nyumba na niliweza kutoa maoni yangu kwa Kiswahili. Sauti yangu ilifikia Kamati ya Bunge.

As a teacher in Garissa, I felt heard for the first time. I gave a submission on the CBC Bill and my feedback was cited in the Education Committee's final report. Parliament is listening through CivicAI.
