Understanding the Finance Bill 2026

The Finance Bill 2026 seems designed to create a broader, stricter, and more aggressive tax system. For the government, that could mean stronger revenue collection, but for businesses, it means tighter margins, heavier compliance, and more pressure on cash flow.

At its core, this Bill is about one thing: raising government revenue.

The Finance Bill 2026 plans to do that by expanding the tax base, tightening compliance, enhancing the Kenya Revenue Authority’s enforcement, and bringing more sectors into the tax net. One of the proposals in this year’s Finance Bill revolves around KRA’s power to recover taxes through agency notices.
