Tax Alert: The NSSF ACT No.45 of 2013

The NSSF Act 2013 enhances the level of contributions to 12% of an employee’s pensionable earnings with a cap of KES 2,160. The contributions to NSSF are categorised into Tier I and Tier II contributions.

The new Act further provides that an employer may opt to pay the Tier II contributions into an approved “contracted-out scheme” i.e. an occupational or private pension scheme that the employer participates in or intends to establish.
