Meta Platforms Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram have revised their terms to allow the internet giant to share information with tax and police agencies beginning in January, giving the taxman a new tool to target enterprises that use their platforms to earn money.

According to the firm’s amended conditions, which will take effect on January 3, 2023, entrepreneurs using the platform to advertise or sell their items will automatically consent to the sharing of dealings with a governmental agency or body if they believe that disclosure would assist in a valid investigation.

Dealings cover all information related to publicity posted on its site, including all advertising content.

Additionally, Meta warned that legal action could be taken if the advertising account’s dues were not paid on time. According to the business, it will take extra measures to collect past due sums if a payment method is unsuccessful or an account is  past due, including working with a debt collection agency.

“You will pay all expenses associated with such collection, including reasonable legal fees. Past due amounts will accrue interest at 1.0 percent per month or the lawful maximum, whichever is less, “the company said.”

Meta stated that it can track user interactions with advertisements and other commercial content, as well as classify clients as invoiced or non-invoiced and monitor user credibility.

“Meta may classify clients as invoiced clients based on factors such as ad spend and credit worthiness. You understand that, from time to time, we run tests on our Self-serve Ad Interfaces and related systems, which may affect your use and experience thereof, including campaign performance,” the terms of service read

“If you are making direct debit payments, you agree that we can charge you any amount that falls within the range that you agreed to upon sign-up. We will notify you in advance if any charge will exceed the agreed-upon range.”

According to analytics company Statista, Kenya has over 12 million Facebook users, nearly 2 million Instagram users, and 22.2 million daily WhatsApp users this year.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), which has boosted its surveillance of Kenyans who flaunt their extravagant lifestyles on social media while paying little to no taxes, will benefit greatly from this.

Additionally, the KRA has had difficulty convincing businesses doing online transactions to pay the digital service tax, which is equal to 1.5 percent of the gross transaction value.

The taxman expects businesses utilising the internet to market and sell goods in Kenya to pay Ksh13.9 billion in digital tax over the following three years.
