KRA opens new battlefront with multinationals

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has turned the heat on cash-rich multinationals, accusing them of using grand tax evasion schemes to deny the government billions of shillings it needs to meet its obligations to the citizens.

The taxman’s claims, which the multinationals deny, have sparked a flurry of multi-billion-shilling suits that are expected to define the future of corporate tax in Kenya.
