TSC Teachers’ Housing Levy Deductions by Per Job Group
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has recently disclosed the updated rates for housing levy deductions applicable to teachers across different job groups.
These deductions vary depending on the monthly basic pay of each employment category.
For instance, teachers in chief principal positions, earning between Sh131,380 and Sh157,656 per month, face the highest deductions.
Conversely, Primary School Teacher II, with a basic pay range of Ksh 21,756 to Ksh 27,195 monthly, incurs the lowest deduction.
According to the revised guidelines, employers failing to remit their employees’ housing levies on time will be subject to a penalty amounting to 2% of the outstanding dues per month.
It is mandatory for employers to submit all deductions within nine working days after the end of each month.
The implementation of these new tax regulations is part of the government’s broader initiative to construct 250,000 affordable housing units annually. This ambitious project is set to be financed through the housing levy program.
Under the new housing levy scheme, employees will contribute 1.5% of their gross monthly income towards housing.
