Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) has suffered a setback in its Sh486 million tax battle with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) after a tribunal rejected its application to block the looming payout.

The Tax Appeal Tribunal said that KBL had filed its appeal outside the statutory timelines, rendering it invalid. The decision effectively upheld KRA’s tax assessment, leaving the brewery with the tax bill to settle.
