This KRA Withholding Tax Certificate template provides Kenyan businesses, accounting firms, and finance professionals with a simple, automated solution for calculating and documenting withholding tax on professional service payments.

Why Use This Template?

Under Kenyan tax law, businesses making payments for professional services must withhold tax at the prescribed rates and remit it to KRA.
