- Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Kenya offer integrated infrastructure, reduced trade barriers, and significant tax exemptions (customs duty, excise duty, VAT, stamp duty) plus reduced corporate tax rates.
- Businesses must obtain a license from the Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA) to operate within an SEZ.
- SEZs are designed to attract local and international investors, boost manufacturing, exports, and foreign direct investment.
- Examples of SEZs in Kenya include Tatu City SEZ (Kiambu County), Compact FTZ (Embakasi, Nairobi), and Africa Economic Zone (Eldoret).
- SEZs are governed by the Special Economic Zones Act 2015 and offer three main types of licenses: Developer, Operator, and Enterprise.
