Getting paid and staying compliant

Practical rules for affiliates based in Kenya.

1
Declare the income

Affiliate income is taxable. Ask an accountant how it is treated in Kenya and whether you need to register with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Income paid from abroad can follow different rules than local income.

2
Check that the payout method supports Kenya

M-Pesa is widely used in Kenya, but most global affiliate programs pay through PayPal, Payoneer, Wise or bank transfer instead. Before you apply, confirm that the method you want works for a Kenyan account and compare the withdrawal fees.

3
Disclose paid relationships

Honest advertising rules and platform policies expect you to say when a link earns you a commission. Put a plain "affiliate link" note before the first link. The Competition Authority of Kenya oversees consumer protection.

4
Protect personal data

The Data Protection Act, 2019 covers email lists, forms and tracking, and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner enforces it. Say what you collect and why.
