The prices of over two dozen goods, including beer, bottled water and juice, are set to rise from this month after the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) moved to effect annual inflation tax adjustment on excise duty charged on the products.
The taxman Tuesday indicated excise duty on the products will increase 4.97 percent effective November 2 in line with average annual inflation. Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) had on Tuesday warned of possible confusion over the effective date of the legal notice.
