Jesang Cherogony

Kenya Revenue Authority – Tax Policy Division

Jesang Cherogony brings the perspective of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to the conversation, focusing on employee tax compliance and the responsibilities employers need to understand.

About the Episode

For Episode 4, Juliet Gateri sits down with Jesang Cherogony from KRA to discuss employee tax compliance in Kenya and what employers may still be getting wrong.

This episode takes HR beyond recruitment and employee relations and into the world of tax, payroll and compliance.

The conversation explores why tax compliance should not be viewed solely as a finance department responsibility. HR decisions around how employees are engaged, classified and paid can have direct implications for an organisation’s tax and statutory obligations.

The discussion looks at areas such as PAYE, consultants, casual workers and employer responsibilities, while highlighting the importance of understanding the rules before compliance problems arise.

The episode ultimately encourages businesses to take a more integrated approach involving HR, payroll, finance and management.
