The Treasury is seeking the creation of a Tax Court within the Judiciary to speed up the settlement of disputes between taxpayers and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

It wants to follow the US model where Tax courts settle more than 90 percent of cases where the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a deficiency notice -- in which the government says individuals or businesses owe money in taxes.
