BitKE caught up with Nickson Omondi, Manager at the Digital Economy Tax Office at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to talk about the recent developments in crypto and digital assets taxation in Kenya.

According to Omondi, a lack of regulation for digital assets in Kenya does not in any way absolve virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and crypto holders of their tax obligations.
