An evening out with a friend over a beer, a bottle of water, a cigarette and a box chocolate gift will from next month cost more as the Kenya Revenue Authority releases the 6.3 percent inflation-adjusted tax on consumers.
The implication of the excise duty will see the price of a bottle of water go up from Sh6.6 per litre to Sh7.02 while juice sellers will part with Sh14.14 for every 12 litres up from Sh13.3. And sugar confectionery taxes have risen from Sh40.3 for every 36 kilos to Sh42.9.
