**Answer:** Possibly. KRA lists management and professional fees among payments subject to withholding tax, at 5% for residents, and payers must remit within five working days. KRA also lists an exemption for resident professional and similar fees totalling KES 24,000 or less in a month. Whether a payer treats your clinical fees as 'professional fees' depends on the arrangement. If tax is withheld, obtain the withholding certificate and reconcile it against your income tax return. Confirm treatment with your tax adviser.
