 President William Ruto has announced proposed income tax cuts targeting low- and middle-income earners, saying Kenyans earning 30,000 shillings or less per month would no longer pay income tax.

Under the proposal, workers earning up to 50,000 shillings monthly would also see their Pay As You Earn (PAYE) rate reduced to 25 percent from the current 30 percent.

Ruto said the measures are intended to ease cost-of-living pressures and put more disposable income in the hands of workers, as households struggle with high prices for food, fuel and basic services.

If approved by Parliament, the changes would raise the tax-free threshold from 24,000 shillings to 30,000 shillings, extending relief to millions of salaried employees.

The proposals are expected to be introduced through amendments to tax legislation, as the government balances revenue needs against growing public pressure for economic relief.
