Answer: Thank you for your email and effort to help Indians in Kenya who may hold assets abroad. For the benefit of
other Kenya residents concerned about reporting of their foreign accounts in India or other countries, I am posting the
Kenya Revenue Authority document for those interested.
Tax Amnesty by Kenya Government for voluntary disclosure of foreign income offers no penalties of levying taxes or
interest on foreign income earned prior to December 31, 2017. This amnesty gives an opportunity to Kenyans to declare
assets or income they may hold abroad without penalties.
The Amnesty ends June 30, 2018. In view of the new exchange of foreign accounts agreement between countries under
CRS. This may be an opportunity for Kenya residents to avoid taxes and penalties by declaring their foreign assets in a
timely manner.
Readers are be reminded that the Kenya tax amnesty to declare foreign income/accounts etc. ends on June 30, 2018. For
more detailed information I am posting a document issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority. To view document Click HERE.
