Air Passenger Service Charge (Amendment) Act, 2026

What does this bill change about air passenger charges?

It updates wording for clarity and requires the Kenya Revenue Authority to send collected fees directly to the Kenya Airports Authority, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, and Tourism Promotion Fund instead of through a single fund first.

Will this affect how much I pay as a passenger?

No, the bill does not change the amount of the charge, which remains fifty US dollars for international trips and six hundred shillings for domestic trips.

How does the money get shared among the organizations?

The Cabinet Secretary sets the proportions by notice in the Gazette, and the Kenya Revenue Authority distributes the funds directly according to those shares after covering its collection costs.

Does this bill create new taxes or spending?

No, it is not a money bill and does not introduce new charges or require additional public funds.
