More Impact As PCEA Receives an Income Tax Exemption
The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) has received a 5-year Income Tax Exemption Certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), marking a significant milestone for the Church’s ministry and operations.
The certificate was officially presented by KRA officials during the second day of the PCEA Finance Committee Retreat, held from 22nd to 24th July 2026. This is the first time the Church has received the exemption since 2010, a major achievement after many years. Receiving the exemption means that the Church is able to direct more resources towards its core mission, including evangelism, education, healthcare, community development, humanitarian work, and other ministry programmes that positively impact society.
The Secretary General Rev. Dr. Robert Waihenya expressed his sincere appreciation to the Kenya Revenue Authority for granting the exemption. He thanked the KRA team for their support and collaboration throughout the application process. He also acknowledged the efforts of KRA Board Chairman Ndiritu Muriithi and KRA Commissioner Ezekiel Obura, appreciating their leadership and the positive engagement between KRA and the Church.
He further urged members of the Finance Committee to ensure that all PCEA institutions remain fully compliant and encouraged responsible use of the exemption certificate. As PCEA embarks on this new five-year exemption period, the Church reaffirms its commitment to good stewardship, accountability, transparency, and compliance, ensuring that the tax relief translates into greater impact in ministry and service to communities across the country.
