\nKenya intends to strike an agreement with Ireland to eliminate double taxation on income or gains generated in one country and paid to citizens of the other.<\/p>\n
The new agreement, which must be ratified by both the Irish and Kenyan parliaments, is intended to establish a favorable climate for investments, trade in products, and services between the two nations by reducing uncertainty generated by the presence of two separate jurisdictions.<\/p>\n
Before Kenya signs the agreement, the National Treasury invited Kenyans for their feedback this week.<\/p>\n
“This Agreement shall apply to income and capital gains taxes imposed by each signatory state, regardless of the method in which they are collected,” the agreement states.<\/p>\n
“Profits of a contracting state’s enterprise must be taxed solely in that State unless the enterprise does business in the other state through a permanent establishment located therein.”<\/p>\n
Manufacturing metals, office machinery, cereals, and drinks are among Ireland’s main exports to Kenya. Coffee, tea, fruits, and vegetables are among the most important Kenyan imports into Ireland.<\/p>\n
Since the reopening of the Ireland Embassy in Nairobi in 2014, the value of trade in services between Ireland and Kenya has increased by more than 20% each year, reaching more than $160 million per year.<\/p>\n
In 2019, more than 40 Irish firms signed Sh4.8 billion in investment partnerships with Kenyan peers.<\/p>\n
Kenya has expanded the number of double-taxation treaties it has signed with important trading partners, signaling its determination to improve the flow of investment.<\/p>\n
Parties who benefit from these transactions are shielded from double taxation, which is one of the factors that contribute to a country’s poor investment interest.<\/p>\n
New DTTs have been signed with important trading partners like as the East African Community and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n
Double taxation results in considerable revenue loss for both individuals and companies, which also face the problem of bearing greater personnel costs as a result of the higher taxes expatriate labor is required to pay.<\/p>\n
Kenya has double tax treaties with a number of countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, Norway, India, Sweden, Zambia, and Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
