BRS Companies Registry fee schedule (documents CR1, CR2, CR8, statement of nominal capital; 3-5 days). A BRS FAQ (May 2024) states an eCitizen payment of KES 10,750 for the same service; confirm the amount on brsv2.ecitizen.go.ke at payment. The statutory fee in the Companies (General) Regulations is KES 10,000; capital duty and stamp duty on the Memorandum and Articles are separate rows. Name reservation fee not found in an official schedule, left out.

Statutory fee in the Ninth Schedule, Part 1, to the Companies (General) Regulations (Kenya Law consolidated version dated 31 Dec 2022, marked 'latest version' on 2026-10-31). The BRS fee schedule shows KES 10,650 for a private limited company (existing row). The schedule does not explain the KES 650 difference, so treat 10,000 as the statutory component and 10,650 as what BRS lists. The Regulations list no name-reservation fee.

Schedule item 8: 'For every Sh. 2,000, and also for any fractional part of Sh. 2,000, of the amount of new capital or increase of capital ... Sh. 20', payable by the company. Section 39 charges the statement of nominal capital delivered on registration and the statement of any later increase. Legal Notice No. 60 of 2016 (Kenya Gazette Vol. CXVIII No. 38, 15 April 2016; commenced 12 April 2016) exempts 'the initial nominal share capital of a company registered or to be registered with limited liability' from the ad valorem duty under section 39, so no capital duty is paid on incorporation and the 1% applies to an increase of capital. The notice names no enabling section; its wording follows the exemption power in s.106 (Gazette notice on the recommendation of the Cabinet Secretary for land). Kenya Law files it under the Income Tax Act and shows its 31 Dec 2022 revision as the latest version (https://kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/act/ln/2016/60/eng@2022-12-31). Companies listed on a stock exchange approved under the Capital Markets Act are excluded. Rounding is up to the next KES 2,000. Act read from the Kenya Law consolidation dated 1 July 2026.

Fixed duty under Schedule item 3(1); articles of a company not formed for profit: KES 300 (item 3(2)). This is the statutory rate. We did not confirm whether BRS collects it within the eCitizen incorporation payment or separately.

Item 23: KES 2,000 whether or not accompanied by the Articles; memorandum of a company not formed for profit KES 300. Payable by all persons executing it, before delivery to the Registrar of Companies. This is the statutory rate; how BRS collects it was not confirmed.
