KRA throws ball to Treasury on hospital's tax exemption

Treasury CS Ukur Yatani [David Njaaga, Standard]

Kenya Revenue Authority says that it would exempt Hampton Hospital from paying tax over its multi-billion equipment and machines if it was cleared by the Treasury.

In its reply to the hospital’s case filed before the High Court, KRA argues that upon the hospital getting a recommendation by the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe, it ought to have gone ahead and obtained an exemption certificate from Treasury CS Ukur Yattani.
