Tanzania rejects EAC report on Kenya’s sugar tax claims

Trade Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Kenya will keep paying a 25 per cent levy on confectioneries exported to Tanzania for an indefinite period.

That is until Tanzania is fully satisfied that the industrial sugar used to manufacture the sweet, biscuits, chocolates et al from Kenya is not zero-rated in terms of import duty, as Tanzania alleges.
