Privately employed Kenyans are set to fill their pockets with more tax-free payouts after the Cabinet passed the Finance Bill 2025 on Wednesday, April 30.
In a subsequent post by the Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy Coordination, Dennis Itumbi, on Thursday, he revealed that among the changes proposed in the new bill was the increase of non-taxable per diem from Ksh2000 to Ksh10,000.
Per diem is typically the allowance employees receive per day when they travel for work.
It covers non-work expenses such as meals, accommodation, transport or local travel, and other minor expenses.
