The High Court has blocked the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) from demanding a 16 percent Value Added Tax (VAT) on annual subscription and entrance fees from golf and sports clubs.

Justice Nixon Sifuna dismissed an appeal by the KRA that sought to overturn a decision blocking the taxman from demanding the fees.
