So the rate will be flat at 3%?

This will only hurt the tenants more by paying a vat like fee on your rent which the land lord will not agree to deduct, actually my thinking its a double taxation for tenant and landlord,it will also bring disputes and personal chaos between landlords and tenants.

This is a load of crap and sheer laziness for KRA. Imagine if these shenanigans of double payments are extended to other taxable payments, I really wonder just how many deposits I'd be making in this "simplified" tax collection.

I think it is a good idea to do that.. i like the idea of a flat late.. i just hope they will make it a maximum of 10% of the total gross rent collections. We must pay taxes and the only thing they need to consider is the fact that they do not allow deduction of costs incurred while putting up the buildings so the tax should be much lower than the normal 30% income tax rate.. I would not mind paying 10% of the gross collections.
