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.linkAnd 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 What you guys are missing is why is 2009 vits has more expensive excise than 2009 Mercedes Benz .someone explain that Never ever, what model of Merc is it? Swenani read my red highlights on the very top of this current thread. Popular cars duty went up by ksh xxx,xxx,xxx respectively. Luxury cars like Mercedes had their duty go down by upto a million.why is someone punished to import popular car by paying 200k while luxury cars have a huge tax break? ?? ooh,pole, That's the purpose of midro crass in any economy, to cushion the rich and support the poor-You should be happy!  shida midro crass wa kenya ni wachache sana, and the worst thing is that they do not want the poor to get in, we the midro crass want to remain gated gated on apartments bought on loans from banks at a rate of 20% ,service charge of 20k a month hoping one day we don't get fired from our current job because we don't want to loose the mortgaged gated apartment that houses the "car loaned"car at a rate of 20% bought with a exercise duty of 200k. Kweli middro crass iko chida

Flat rate excise duty (200k) on used cars scrapped "to help those importing cheaper cars". Link Budget. Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

And you have 30 such cars!! Good luck to you! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Workers will also have something to smile about. Those in the lowest income tax band (earning below Sh10,165 per month) will now have their bonuses, overtime and retirement benefits exempted from tax. The government proposes to expand the tax bands and increase personal relief by 10 per cent. “These measures are meant to cushion the workers from high cost of living and demonstrates our commitment to sharing the growth of our economy,” What if employers decided to reduce salaries to 10165 and pay the rest as bonuses? A safe route to avoid funding scandals? punda amecheka

Parliament had last time refused to pass that bill (Or rather amended that section) and the president took the bill back to parliament. Now they take it back again so that whatever they insisted on and parliament had disagreed on can be reversed! Never count on making a good sale.

Mr. Speaker, last year I introduced excise duty on motor vehicles based on the age of the vehicles at a specific rate. This has been perceived to be unfair, inequitable and punitive to importers of vehicles commonly imported by low income earners but beneficial to importers of luxurious vehicles. In order to address the situation, I propose to amend the Excise Duty Act, 2015 to remove specific rate of duty and introduce advalorem rate of 20% based on the value of the vehicle"
