This CGT is DoA. GoK will realize this is not a war worth fighting for. Forcecul implementation will crash the market. I don't think treasury is that stupid to do so.

They should have come with the Idea of instituting a Gain tax on heavy traders moving over 30,000 shares atime and not the poor wanjiku selling her 500 shares. This will ryme on what happens to tax on large land and housing estates being sold.
Parliament brought this to curb land speculation and I wonder why it was introduce to stock market without limits as in land and housing.
The same Govt does not restitute on losses!!!!

A DOA scenario is easy to spot anytime - http://www.businessdaily...-/12fsh1tz/-/index.html

And then the market effects due to this CGT faceoff - http://www.businessdaily...0/-/4n0j1k/-/index.html

CGT is not the issue, but implementation. GoK is forgetting capital has no loyalty. Capital dislikes uncertainity. Uncertainity leads to capital flight. Capital flight leads to less tax revenue. Then what...? GoK should study zimbabwe and france as they went on a taxing spree. Deflation follows as demand evaporates...

This also reminds me of WHT (15%) on dividends as low as KES 100. Senseless is an understatement...

The brokers are not helping either, my broker withheld 5% of the sell PROCEEDS, claiming they are not sure of how to calculate the capital gain.

CRAZY!

There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope
