The tax on rental income is a tax arising from the gains and profits for occupation of property. The ITA provides for various ways of taxing rental income; Where the rent is payable to a non-resident, the tenant is required to withhold 30% of the rent and remit it to the Kenya Revenue Authority. The tax withheld is a final tax. Where the rent is payable to a resident, if the property is commercial, the tenant being an appointed agent, is required to withhold 10 % of the rent. The tax withheld is not a final tax and the landlord is required to file their income tax in the usual way. Where the rent is payable to a resident and the property is residential, the landlord may opt to either pay a monthly rental income tax, computed at 10 % of the gross rent a (final tax) or pay the instalment tax and final income tax in the usual way.

Trigger of rare blood clots with AstraZeneca jab found

AstraZeneca's own scientists also joined the research project

Scientists believe they have found "the trigger" that leads to extremely rare blood clots after the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.

The team - in Cardiff and the US - have shown in exquisite detail how a protein in the blood is attracted to a key component of the vaccine.

They think this kicks off a chain reaction, involving the immune system, that can culminate in dangerous clots.

The vaccine is thought to have saved about a million lives from Covid.

However, concerns about rare blood clots shaped how the vaccine has been used around the world including an alternative being offered to the under-40s in the UK.

It also started a scientific detective hunt to figure out what was going on and if it could be prevented. The Cardiff team were given emergency government funding to find the answers.

AstraZeneca's own scientists also joined the research project after earlier results from the team were published.

A spokeswoman for AstraZeneca stressed that clots were more likely to occur because of a Covid infection than the vaccine and that the complete explanation for why they occur had not yet been established.

"Although the research is not definitive, it offers interesting insights and AstraZeneca is exploring ways to leverage these findings as part of our efforts to remove this extremely rare side effect," she added.

Networking design of a decentralized Internet

  Networking design of a decentralized Internet     Hey everyone, I've been thinking through mesh net concepts and how a new, more decentralized, the internet could be built. Or merged in, rather. This will probably consist of a few decent thoughts mixed in with some unbacked rants and statements, so please bear with me. I have little concept of wireless networking and effective mesh networking, so not all of my ideas may come together. Ideally, we'd have a mix of both. Run some CAT-5 to your neighbor, bury some fiber to your friend a km away, and connect to a mesh network. Wireless is extremely complex but lets us work without wires where impractical, too illegal, and where we're not ready for them. We should find a way to mix and blend our layer 1 friends without making the others suffer. Layer 3 thoughts: Scrap the notion of IPv4 altogether. We can do fancy things with I...
