Deductions towards the housing levy, the Social Health Insurance Fund (Shif), and post-retirement medical funds will not be taxed twice starting this month, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) said, handing a relief to salaried workers.
Currently, even after deducting these statutory contributions from the gross salaries of employees, KRA still subjects these amounts to Pay As You Earn (PAYE), increasing the tax liability for most employees.
