VAT Value added tax (national) Indicative
Details

VAT is a national tax, not an EAC-wide levy: its rate varies by the member state where the import is cleared (for example 16% in Kenya, 18% in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, as of publication). No single rate is applied here: verify the current rate with the relevant national revenue authority before relying on any estimate.
