Over the recent years there has been an increase in digital transactions and a shift in how business is being done globally. The Kenyan economy has undergone a substantial transformation through digitalisation. Kenyans can now access content, buy stuff, sell stuff, set up their own platforms online, and transact with many other platforms from all over the world. However, despite the growth, we have not seen the same being reflected in tax collection.
There has therefore been a need for Kenyan Authorities to rethink everything, and come up with a strategy that ensures that the obvious growth witnessed as a result of digital services is reflected in revenue collection. The digital economy has largely remained untaxed due to the nature of transactions involved.
