Treasury secretary Henry Rotich has moved to the appeals court for orders to overturn the High Court decision that stopped use of an imported electronic system to charge excise duty on imported bottled water and other non-alcoholic drinks.
Mr Rotich argues that the lower court’s decision to nullify the gazette notice that authorised use of Excisable Goods Management System (EGMS) to collect the tax would cause loss of Sh27.68 billion in tax revenues in the current financial year.
