The High Court has rejected the Kenya Revenue Authority's bid to suspend a Tax Appeals Tribunal decision that classified imported heat pumps under a zero-duty tariff, ruling that the tax collector failed to prove the judgment would trigger substantial losses to public revenue.

The ruling leaves intact a tribunal decision that found Tile & Carpet Centre Ltd's Aertech All-in-One heat pump qualifies for a tariff code attracting zero percent import duty.
