The VAT3 is the monthly Value Added Tax Return filed with the Kenya Revenue Authority. All VAT-registered businesses must report output VAT (collected on sales) and input VAT (paid on purchases) for each tax period. The standard VAT rate in Kenya is 16%.
Nil returns are mandatory even if there was no VAT activity during the period. The return is filed via an Excel template on the iTax portal at itax.kra.go.ke.
