Lobbies want Rotich to clarify on new tax policies

Kenya: Professional lobbies want National Treasury Cabinet Treasury Henry Rotich to come clean on whether the income tax will be raised to finance the over Sh200 billion 2014/2015 budget deficit.

Rotich remained mum on new tax bills proposed in the 2014/2015 Budget statement presented to Parliament last week, fueling speculation that Kenyan’s could be slapped with a hefty tax bill in the coming months.
