All Kenyans pay 30% tax from earnings from their careers/occupations. Why should athletes be exempted?

As long as hey are not subjected to double taxation.Some of those countries where they compete in have very mean KRAs. Eg French President Hollande wants to tax top earners 75% tax rate so if you earn 1 m they swallow 750,000 and you remain with only 250,0000.How now?

How special are they not to pay taxes?

If they [athletes] think they do me a favor by competing,how about they hang those boots!

Wapi @murchr awaambie "kulipa ushuru ni kujitegemea"?.

But then again, what prize money qualifies for taxation?

If one wins say London marathon and they are taxed in the UK, it would be double taxation to charge anything on that prize money.

Which leaves us with the likes of Ndakaini marathon,KPL and endorsements.

Why do people pay tax? If you can answer this then you may see my angle.
