Kenya's tax authority says Social Health Insurance Fund contributions won't have tax relief benefits.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has confirmed that contributions to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) are not eligible for tax relief. The tax benefits previously associated with the now-defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) do not extend to SHIF due to changes in the law. A proposed amendment in the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2024 may allow future deductions for SHIF contributions, aligning with the government's universal health coverage goals.
