What Kenya collected in excise duty on domestically manufactured commodities and on services, for the seven calendar years to 2024. 63 observations across seven groups, their total, and one of-which row.

**Kenya's excise base moved off drink and tobacco.** Beer, wines and spirits and cigarettes together raised 55.4 per cent of all excise revenue in 2018 and 35.5 per cent in 2024. Financial services overtook beer as the single largest line, rising from 20.1 per cent of the total to 29.1 while beer fell from 29.3 to 17.2.

Cigarettes are the only group that fell in cash terms, from 12.8 billion shillings to 11.5, over seven years in which total excise revenue rose 81 per cent.

The fastest growth is in Other commodities, which went from 904 million shillings to 23.8 billion. Excise on internet data is the largest single part of it, 9.0 billion in 2024 against nothing at all in 2018, and the source publishes that line inside the group rather than beside it.

That of-which row is carried as one. It is part of Other commodities, so adding it to the seven groups overshoots the printed total in every year it carries a figure. Its 2018 cell is a nil mark rather than a zero, because the levy did not exist yet: the source asserts no collection, not a collection of nothing.
