Any institution engaging in employment is required to register with NHIF. When a company is registered it is required to register with KRA for taxes, NHIF for employee’s medical cover and NSSF for an employee retirement benefit.

To register for NHIF as an employer, the following documents are required:

1. Authorization letter on Employer Letter Head
2. Dully filled, signed and stamped Employer Registration Form.
3. Certificate of Registration
4. CR12 for Companies or CR13 for Sole-Proprietorship and Partnerships.
5. KRA PIN
6. For Companies, Registration CR documents or Articles, and Memorandum of Association.

After registration, an employer is allocated an Employer Code number that the employer will be using to remit all NHIF deductions.

Where a company has not yet engaged in formally employing staff, it should register with NHIF and have its directors as employees to avoid penalties later when they start engaging in employment.
