In Kenya the salary of employees is subjected to income tax and this tax is deducted from the gross pay based on the amount of money an individual earns.
Though tax is one of the many deductions done on an individual’s pay slip, it contributes to more than 90% of the total deduction, unless one has a loan he/she is servicing. Here is a list of deductions made in a pay slip in Kenya
- NSSF
- NHIF
- Loan(if it’s there)
- Tax
After deductions, your salary is subjected to tax relief, which include:
- Personal relief
- Insurance relief
