EV Tax Advantage
Electric vehicles enjoy a reduced excise duty rate of 10% compared to 25% for ICE vehicles under the Finance Act 2023, making EVs significantly cheaper to import.
How It Works
Kenya calculates import taxes on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Duties are cascaded: Import Duty on CIF, Excise on CIF + Import Duty, then VAT on the cumulative total.

Disclaimer: These figures are estimates only. Actual costs may vary based on the vehicle's declared value, current exchange rates at the time of clearance, specific KRA assessments, and additional costs such as port charges, transport from Mombasa, and registration fees. For exact duties, consult a licensed clearing agent or the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
