The taxman has been spared from paying a sugar importer more than Sh569 million for damages after changing dates for the importation of duty-free sugar in 2007, pending the hearing of its appeal.

Three judges of the Court of Appeal agreed that the compensation amount to Transouth Conveyors was huge, yet the appeal by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is arguable.
