A provision should have been made for recovery of the tax paid on the loss in future profitable sales punda amecheka

Rank: Chief Joined: 8/4/2010 Posts: 8,977		I see Treasury finally pulled the plug on CGT yesterday as per my expectation that it was a DoA idea. My heartfelt condolences go out to the CGT backers (IMF et al). I will duly update my signature due to this change. Back to business. This transaction tax though punitive is much better than that ill advised CGT. But the market structure is broken for any bullish fight to come from this development. GDP has to be revised down after that CBR hike. The ambitious budget will definitely crowd out the domestic money market to fund that gaping hole from reduced tax collection due to a slumping econ. The market has to price in that reality making the path of least resistance to be downwards (bearish trend). $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

"Investors are now expected retain 0.3 per cent of any gains realised from the trade of shares and the brokers are expected to act as agents of KRA."

Rotich removed the five percent tax on capital gains arising from the selling of shares and introduced a 0.3 percent withholding tax on transaction value of the shares. http://www.capitalfm.co....al-gains-tax-on-shares/

Thought so too, but shock on me as I try to make a payment request. My broker tells me: Quote: Kindly note you will be required to fill in the attached payment request form as well as the attached capital gains tax form for all the sale transactions done in 2015. Quote: Please note for all the sales done in 2015, you will be required to calculate CGT with 5% of the gains . 0.3% withholding tax was implemented as from January 2016.
