Base Titanium has failed to overturn Sh23.3 million tax demand on account of withholding tax arising from payments made to its marketing and distribution agent based in China.

The company had faulted the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for assessing the payments at the rate of 20 percent contrary to its earlier approval of 12.5 percent, hence against its legitimate expectation.
