Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has lost a protracted Sh1.38 billion tax case against Bidco Oil Refineries, offering a major reprieve to the consumer goods manufacturer.

High Court judge JWW Mong’are in a decision issued last week said the KRA erred in making the demand in which it claimed Bidco undervalued the crude palm oil, crude soya bean oil and crude kernel oil it imported.
