SportPesa has issued a notice to appeal against a High Court judgment that failed to overturn the imposition of a higher tax rate on gambling, with the betting firm citing unfair tax burden.

The High Court last Thursday dismissed a suit by SportPesa and Pambazuka national lottery, seeking to stop implementation of a 35 per cent tax on all gambling revenues.
