The Court of Appeal has dismissed a High Court order allowing an importer to offload 40,000 tonnes of sugar from a ship at the centre of a legal dispute.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is demanding Sh2.5 billion in taxes it claims Darasa Investment Company is trying to avoid paying by importing the 800,000 bags of sugar from South America. Darasa has argued that the sugar was imported during a tax-free window period.
