Section 75

Assessment of person about to leave or having left Kenya.

Where the Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that a person is about to leave Kenya, or has left Kenya and his absence is unlikely to be only temporary, and that person has not been assessed to tax on income chargeable to tax for a year of income, the Commissioner may, according to the best of his judgement, determine the amount of the income of that person for that year of income and assess him accordingly, but that assessment shall not affect the liability of that person otherwise arising under this Act.
