The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has won a court battle for a share of the Sh4.4 billion compensation that the Westgate Shopping Mall received from Kenindia Insurance following a terrorist attack in 2013.
High Court judge John Mativo quashed an application by the mall’s owner, Sony Holdings Limited, to stop KRA from demanding Sh221 million in taxes from the terror attack compensation and a further Sh159 million in tax arrears for 2016.
