Luxury cars like Range Rovers and Mercedes Benz, which account for a small share of all vehicle imports, however saw their excise taxes drop by up to Sh1 million.

And we say the govt wants common Mwananchi to prosper, that's kenya for you


Prosper by importing second hand cars which pollutes enevironment?

Excise duty is meant to discourage consumption of harmful goods/services that's why it's called sin tax.

Common mwananchi is not worried about owning a car but having accommodation, food and cothing

The common mwananchi travels in an overloaded probox, his food is ferried in tinted vitz, and his mutumba bales are shared between boda boda and the cheap advans.

The common mwananchi uses boda boda thus why excise duty was scrapped on motorcycles and bicyles.

Vitz, advans and probox are for the middle class

Second hand cars pollutes environment, if you want to save money,import a car which is less than 3 years old and save 50K+ and use it for long unless wewe ni mtu unapenda kudrive number plate

actually this does not help, a 7 year old car depreciates by 60-70% a 3 year by less, the difference in price after the 200k and the 150k duty still leaves the older car cheaper by far than the newer car, so the duty is no incentive to buy a newer car, they would have done away with duty for cars less than 3 years, that would have helped.

Duty serves two purposes
1. Discourage imports-excise duty
2. A means of government to recover tax which GM, DT dobie etc would have paid if you had bought the car locally-VAT.
3. For fairness and equity- It is expected/assumed that a person who buys a 7 yr old car wont use it for long unlike a person who buys 2 yr old car thus why there are differences in depreciation
