The Treasury has set aside Sh1 billion for Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds every month as it plans to cut down on exemptions which gobble hundreds of billions of shillings every year.

The cash, which is being disbursed through the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), however falls short of the Sh5.5 billion proposed by manufacturers last week.
