The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has lost its bid to tax billions of shillings collected monthly from motorists through the fuel levy meant for road maintenance.

A tribunal has barred the taxman from seeking Sh1.7 billion from the government-owned Kenya Roads Board (KRB), terming the levy and interest earned from billions sitting in accounts non-income and not liable for taxation.
