What a move.Laughing out loudly The only problem is that even if they succeeded, and Baks signed the bill into law, past taxes will still accrue at the rates prevailing when the income was earned which is 30%. Walipe tu na wawache hizi ma uchizi.

have only read of one country with GDP per capita below $2000 that has slashed taxes to 10%. that glorious country is called utopia.

slashing PAYE to 10% will be followed by a compensating hike to 60% the next year once sirikal starts struggling to pay salaries and is forced to borrow like its christmas.

And people will still complain about reduced development expenditure. So, with the government getting reduced revenues, what would happen to the big civil service workforce? How will roads be constructed, external debt paid, what will be the interest rates on domestic debt? Et cetera?

Lower taxes will cripple the country and will cause a ripple effect. Let's not be shortsighted. Besides, the transistion we are in plus the new constitution, these tax levels will come in handy in the future growth of our country. They should only make sure hazijaongezwa.

I'd want to know from KRA's Commissioner of Domestic Taxes, how much PAYE contributes to the overall Tax Collections.

I'd bet its not more than 10%, again, the administration cost incurred by KRA in collecting PAYE is nil, since employers remit PAYE at KRA's doorstep.

I think a more realistic approach would be to increase the tax brackets on the upper limits and offcourse ignore taxation on hapless kenyans earning less than Ksh 20,000.

It should be a wake-up call to KRA to get landlords and land-owners in the tax drag net.
