The CRSP Basis
The current retail selling price basis for the Volkswagen Polo Tsi Comfortline is anchored at KES 1,768,724. As a 2022 model, a KRA depreciation rate is applied for the 2025 calendar year before duty, excise duty, VAT, IDF, and RDL are computed from the customs value.
This page uses the most common 1000cc petrol configuration in our catalog, then layers shipping, marine insurance, port handling, and inland transport allowances on top of the official tax result.
Formula:
Customs Value = CRSP - Depreciation
Import Duty = Customs Value x Import Duty Rate
Excise Duty = Customs Value x Excise Duty Rate
VAT = (Customs Value + Import Duty + Excise Duty) x VAT Rate
IDF = Customs Value x IDF Rate
RDL = Customs Value x RDL Rate
Total Tax = Import Duty + Excise Duty + VAT + IDF + RDL* Exchange rates used: landed-cost figures rely on the live CRSP KE assumptions and can shift with shipping conditions.
