Breaking Down Our Expatriate Payroll Solutions
Work Permit Compliance Coordination
We ensure payroll processing remains aligned with an expatriate employee’s valid work permit status, flagging any renewal deadlines that could affect continued employment.
Tax Treaty Application
Our expatriate payroll service assesses applicable double taxation agreements between Kenya and the employee’s home country, ensuring tax treatment reflects any relevant treaty provisions.
Housing & Allowance Structuring
Expatriate compensation often includes housing, transport, and other allowances. We structure and tax these benefits correctly according to Kenyan revenue requirements.
PAYE Treatment for Expatriates
We apply correct PAYE treatment to expatriate income, accounting for residency status and any benefits-in-kind that differ from standard local employee compensation.
Home-Host Country Coordination
Where coordination with a home-country payroll or tax advisor is needed, we liaise to ensure consistent, compliant treatment across both jurisdictions.
Repatriation Pay Processing
When an expatriate assignment ends, we manage final pay, benefit settlements, and any repatriation-related compensation accurately and professionally.
