NAIROBI, KENYA: The East Africa Community (EAC) Partner States will have a harmonised tax system by April 2015, a senior government official has said. Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism Phyllis Kandie told a media briefing in Nairobi that negotiations are currently ongoing at the ministerial level.
“We shall begin by harmonising the Value Added Tax (VAT) and the excise taxes,” Ms Kandie said during the launch of the 2014 Taxpayers week on Monday.
