2. The income tax need to be paid.

3. Any income tax exemption ( tax will be paid by employer)

4. Does international driving license is valid under Kenyan Law. For your information my home country driving is "right hand drive"

Hope to hearing from the members soon.

Hello,

1. International schools are plenty. You have choices of the British, US, IB and local curriculum.

2. 30% income tax

3. Exemptions are minor and not worth considering (www.revenue.go.ke)

4. International driving licenses are valid. If you come from a Commonwealth country you can obtain a local license without having to undergo a test.

Regards,
TJ
