NSE, CMA and CDSC (to be bought out by NSE) should reduce their piece of the pie from 0.32% to a more manageable level e.g. 0.15% (on buy and sale)... It is not fair to lump the entire 0.3% on sales to Investors.

This is worse than cgt as far as investors are concerned especially when the share prices are declining.cgt focused on gains.the new transaction tax is chargeable on both acquisition and disposal,very thoughtful of rotich as he will still get revenue even in a bear market.

I thought the Capital gains tax on shares traded has been scrapped off and this is witholding tax ama? Capital gains tax of real estate stays

Who is a tax guru in Wazua to break this down for us further. We need to know the full implications before we celebrate much. Some of us are already badly hit by the bear and do not need further bashing. We're not sinners in taxation terms
