Public servants, including Members of Parliament, will be exempted from paying tax on reimbursements for expenses incurred during official duties if President William Ruto assents to a new Bill amid concerns about potential abuse by some officers.
The Tax (Laws) Amendment Bill, which sailed through Parliament on Wednesday night, provides for unfettered benefits for public officers including non-taxation of any amount paid or granted to them as reimbursement of expenditure incurred while performing official duties regardless of the ownership or control of the assets purchased.
