Will bunge agree to pass this law? How do you think this will affect property prices. Will sellers just transfer cost to buyer? Will investors shy away from buying land and property? Should I sell my shares before the effective date to avoid this 20% penalty? Is that why NSE index is on downward trend? I also read elsewhere VAT is going up on fuel and unga. Is Gova too broke? " If Parliament approves the far-reaching proposals, it could also see the capital gains tax rate rise from five per cent to 20 per cent...." https://www.nation.co.ke/news/To...563732-1iefq6/index.html

Frog in a boiling pot.When you agree to a new tax being introduced you've already lost the war.Govt can now crank it to 20%,30% and even 50% with little or no resistance.

Wonder what will happen when KRA and treasury exhaust all this desperate measures to increase taxes, when the taxes we already pay are blatantly misused, those cheering for the 5% increase in PAYE taxation for high earners, don't forget KRA will eventually come for you in your bracket. Anyway forward will depend on a suitable environment for conducting business and not just on paper. "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Stephen Wright

Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Kenyans and their love of socialist freebies free education, free health care...serikali saidia plus the wasteful public service and political class.
To paraphrase the iron lady be careful asking the govt to do everything for you because one day it will take everything from you. You are cattle in the tax farm.

There is a limit to how much citizens are willing to pay tax, too little the government makes no money, too high and citizens abandon the item or service being taxed,GoK saw what happened with the earlier capital gains on shares, and the other tax on used cars and recently the tax on cheap liquor.

Njiraini has run out of ideas, he should retire this country is not short of people. KRA has come up with nothing substantive since Waweru. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

If this marriage happens its a confirmation that this guy doesn't know what he is doing and is overwhelmed by the job...and to consider the sea of all the corporate types he could choose!!!

Do you know any country in the world which have like 20% on capital gains ? Capital gains - means tax for rich people. I assume it will never be like that. Income, some county/state and sort of added sale tax is for rest of the world - poor ones, they will never do that I think, but let me know;)
