Adjustment of VAT Withheld (Kenya)

Withholding VAT was introduced in Kenya with effect from 1st October, 2003. It is a system which involves the declaration of VAT by both the supplier and his customer who has been appointed as a withholding VAT agent. Institutions appointed as withholding VAT agents are Government institutions, parastatals, banks, financial institutions, co-operative societies, insurance companies, and regular exporters.
