Court reinstates Sh3bn tax claim against London Distillers

The High Court has reinstated a Sh3 billion tax demand against spirits manufacturer London Distillers (K) Limited (LDK), overturning a decision by the Tax Appeals Tribunal that had quashed the assessment issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

The disputed assessment, issued in April 2021, comprised corporation tax, excise duty and value-added tax (VAT) for the period between 2015 and 2019.
