Taxes on second-hand car imports are set to rise by up to 145 percent next month as the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) moves to update the prices of new units on which taxation of used models is based.
Small cars like Suzuki Swift, Mazda Demio and Toyota Vitz, which have grown more popular due to their fuel efficiency and use in taxi business, will attract the biggest percentage increase in taxes while some bigger cars like Volkswagen Tiguan and Lexus LX570 will see their tax bill fall in the latest review of the Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP).
