KRA Gives Notice on Payment of Sugar Development Levy by Millers & Importers

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has issued guidelines for the collection of Sugar Development Levy that came into effect on July 1, 2025.

The move follows Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe's designation of the Revenue Authority as the collector of the levy imposed through Legal Notice 113 of 2025.

In a notice issued on Thursday, July 31, KRA noted that for local millers, the levy would be payable at the rate of 4 per cent of the ex-factory price by the 10th day of the following month.

Millers are expected to generate a payment slip through the iTax system under the tax head "Agency Revenue" and tax sub-head "Sugar Development Levy", then proceed to make the payment.
