Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has shocked beer maker Kenya Breweries Ltd (KBL) with a tax demand of Sh8.2 billion it waived two years ago after years of negotiations.
The beer company says in a petition before the High Court that the demand by the KRA is prejudicial because the taxman made the company withdraw a case it had filed before the tax appeals tribunal, challenging the excise duty and value-added tax from June 2015 to March 2017.
