Have you realised that in addition to increasing rent he added VAT on essential commodities like food and also electricity meaning the cost of production will also go up? phew!! believe me, nobody will go after the farmers, supermarkets or even the KPLC for increasing the costs of their products...but everybody is after the poor landlords neck  ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

In addition he sneaked something on phombe. From now the prices will be reviewed every 3 months and the tax will be applied at the consumption point and not at the production point.

you see alma tax in kenya is tax irrespective of its nature...the fact that i was not paying did not make me an evader, reason being that if KRA had made it mandatory and enforced it to the letter all of us would pay..these KRA is very thorough at following taxpayers...why didn't they in my case???
@kaigz, you and dozens of other real estate investors are tax evaders! It has always been mandatory and KRA annual return forms even have a section on rental income! You should thank govt if it doesn't ask you to pay all arrears plus penalties!!

Rents have always been increased over the years. It will be hard to tell any court that rent is being increased due to the taxes. Landlords will not have a problem paying taxes if mapping is enforced. The problem is, the tenants will be the conduit used to ensure the landlord doesn't suffer reduced net income as a result. That, sadly, is the fact to @essyk, @alma, et al. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Tenants, Ati you will go to Court? If you cannot meet, the 30% increase, where to you get money to pay the lawyer, Court Filling Fees, etc.? At the end of it 'Willing Buyer, Willing Seller'? Just relocate, instead of calling us tax evaders, na uko kwa mali ya wenyewe!

Most of you Landlords are poorer than us tenants .Servicing loans worth millions is no mean task,but shauri yenyuSi unaona kaigangio was begging us 'tenants to do a harambee for his family's upkeep cz debts are driving him crazy. We have Atwoli on our side. Besides we don't need individual lawyers. Team work will do. Nyinyi landlords ndio mutahama!"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
