They include:

—Tax Laws Amendment: Expands tax on digital services like ride-hailing, freelancing, and food delivery.

Introduces a minimum 15% tax on global companies with annual revenue above Sh100 billion.

—Tax Procedures Amendment: Adds penalties, including a 10% charge on tax agents who fail to remit withholding tax.

—Public Finance (Amendment) No. 3: Ensures counties can access up to 50% of the previous year’s funds if key revenue bills are delayed.

—Public Finance (Amendment) No. 4: Clarifies regulations on government borrowing and guarantees.
