- All manufacturers in Kenya must pay a standards levy to the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) at 0.2% of monthly turnover, capped at KES 4,000,000 annually.
- The levy is calculated on turnover net of VAT, Excise Duty, and discounts, and is payable via KRA iTax by the 20th of the following month.
- Manufacturers with annual turnover not exceeding KES 5,000,000 (after deductions) are exempt.
- Non-compliance or failure to register with KEBS is an offence and attracts a 5% monthly penalty on unpaid levy.
- The order took immediate effect upon publication in the Official Gazette.
