So Bartum what was to be waived off if you were to pay on June 10th? Was it vat,or excise or which tax that's going to be scrapped off ?I'm short how's your breakdown

I paid customs 81800, excise 200,000 and vat 96,000
I would have been approx 80k, 80k and 76k respectively


So it hasn't changed yet. Those quoting their agents will probably be in for a big surprise when their vehicles arrive.

You could have waited for 1 week for the entry to automatically expire, then apply afresh and pay less

C&P
Thursday also marked the re-introduction of a 20 per cent excise duty on importation of motor-vehicles as opposed to the fixed fee of Sh150,000 for cars aged less than three years and Sh200,000 for those older than three years.

The new valuation formula caught importers of high-end vehicles aged less than three years by surprise as they were immediately required to pay significantly higher duty beginning last Friday morning.

“Imported vehicles which were cleared on Thursday were taxed based on the old rates that relied on age,” the secretary-general of the Kenya AutoBazaar, Charles Munyori, told the Business Daily.

Mr Munyori said individuals whose expensive, relatively new vehicles such as Toyota V8 were cleared Friday morning were asked to pay excise duty of Sh1.1 million — representing a steep and sudden increase from the previous Sh200,000.

*Cicero of the Roman Empire wrote this about the situation during his lifetime:*


1. The poor, work and work.
2. The rich exploit the poor.
3.The soldier protects both.
4.The TAXPAYER,pays for all three.
5.The wanderer, rests for all four.
6.The drunk,drinks for all five.
7.The banker,robs all six.
8.The lawyer, misleads all seven.
9.The doctor,bills all eight.
10.The undertaker,buries all nine.
11.The POLITICIAN lives happily on account of all ten.

Then you add the CIF cost.

Just one importer goes to court and this excise change will reverse until passed legally.

Wacha fitina. Why are you sooo much opposed to the duty going down? Can you declare your interest in this matter?
