Smart farming: IoT and your farming equipment

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe the connecting of physical objects to each other via the internet in order to exchange data between them. IoT capabilities are increasingly becoming an important tool for farmers to measure relevant data remotely and in real time. However, like all things that are connected to the internet and capable of gathering vast amounts of data, the all-important “ T’s and C’s ” attached to the use of IoT-enabled farming equipment should receive careful consideration where such IoT devices allow access to sensitive data by IoT service providers and even other unauthorised third parties.

Renewed efforts by the taxman to collect rental income tax

On 18 October 2022, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) issued a notice to the public of its intent to undertake a data collection exercise on rental properties within Nairobi City County and the Nairobi Metropolis. This exercise, which entails moving from house to house to collect information from tenants on their landlords, has elicited reactions from the public. Accordingly, the taxman's move raises a lot of questions, for tenants, landlords, and the public at large. Some of the key questions that need to be addressed include: what Rental Income Tax (RIT) is, how it is paid, how KRA can enforce payment of RIT under the law, the parts of the country where KRA's data collection exercise be conducted, whether KRA has conducted similar data collection exercises before and what the key data protection issues are. Click here to listen as Alex Kanyi, Shem Otanga, and Joseph Macharia provide some clarity on the taxman's data collection exercise, its legal founding under current law, and the implications to taxpayers and KRA.
