- KRA appoints VAT withholding agents in Kenya
- Agents withhold 2% of total amount payable to suppliers
- Example: if item sold for Sh. 116, agent pays Sh. 114 to supplier, withholds Sh. 2 as VAT
- Supplier remains liable for full Sh. 16 in VAT, can claim withheld amount when agent remits to KRA
- Withholding agents must remit withheld VAT to Commissioner by 20th day of following month
- Excess VAT withheld can be applied against future VAT payable or refunded to supplier
