Now every employee should go on strike and demand for more pay. Where will the money come from? Your guess is as good as mine or maybe from the mega profits companies are bragging about.

VAT pia haina stronghold.

Bei ya maziwa ndiyo stronghold.

They need the money to implement the promises!!! commodity prices hazina tyranny of numbers

Irrespective whether you voted for the promises or not...you have to pay.

Developments are not funded from the air....they have to be financed!! and who else to finance it...

Where was the opposition when this VAT Act was passed ama walikuwa kortini!!

Actually for me, i view income tax as anti-development and discriminate especially the P.A.Y.E.

How many will agree for their employers to knock off some zeros from their payslip? SMH.

this VAT thing will subside in due course. As usual, when something like this happens, shocks do occur but later sanity will prevail as things stabilizes.

my question, if Uchumi & CornerShop both buy milk from Brookside @40/= to sell @45/=. Uchumi will remit to GoK 16% of 5/= "value added" , CornerShop won't remit .... why would they sell the milk at the same price?

Brookside should also charge 16% VAT. Each business in the line will do a VAT analysis showing the input(purchases) versus output(sales). If output exceeds input, the difference is paid to KRA

We accept and move on. Ama turudi machinani.
