Motorcycle dealers hit by Sh10,000 new excise levy

Players in the motor vehicle industry have decried the introduction of Sh10,000 excise tax on bikes, saying this would hurt the business that has witnessed significant growth in the last decade.

Dealers in the motorcycle taxis, commonly referred to as boda boda, argue that the proposal to slap motorcycles an excise tax of Sh10,000 per unit could be counter-productive to the industry.
