A Nairobi advocate has moved to court to stop the implementation of the new Finance Act arguing that the law was passed in the middle of an ongoing case stopping the government from increasing excise duty on products including beer and other alcoholic drinks.
Mwaura Kabata says consumers and manufacturers as well as business owners are set to suffer financially by the heightened tax pressure, which is based on increments of tax from a base of rates that are actively being contested before the court.
