Members of Parliament have dodged a Sh1 billion tax demand for the Sh7.5 million car grant the lawmakers get every five-year term after a recent law change that has extinguished a court battle with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)
A tribunal ruled on November 22 that the KRA has the right to demand Sh2.5 million from each of the 416 MPs - 349 in the National Assembly and 67 in the Senate-as 30 percent income tax on the car grant.
