So Bartum what was to be waived off if you were to pay on June 10th? Was it vat,or excise or which tax that's going to be scrapped off ?I'm short how's your breakdown

I paid customs 81800, excise 200,000 and vat 96,000
I would have been approx 80k, 80k and 76k respectively


So it hasn't changed yet. Those quoting their agents will probably be in for a big surprise when their vehicles arrive.

You could have waited for 1 week for the entry to automatically expire, then apply afresh and pay less

Thursday also marked the re-introduction of a 20 per cent excise duty on importation of motor-vehicles as opposed to the fixed fee of Sh150,000 for cars aged less than three years and Sh200,000 for those older than three years.

The new valuation formula caught importers of high-end vehicles aged less than three years by surprise as they were immediately required to pay significantly higher duty beginning last Friday morning.

“Imported vehicles which were cleared on Thursday were taxed based on the old rates that relied on age,” the secretary-general of the Kenya AutoBazaar, Charles Munyori, told the Business Daily.

Mr Munyori said individuals whose expensive, relatively new vehicles such as Toyota V8 were cleared Friday morning were asked to pay excise duty of Sh1.1 million — representing a steep and sudden increase from the previous Sh200,000.

I think @KulaRaha is right.
First of all those importing expensive cars will have to pay more, even before the law is passed.

2nd, if CS gets away with this, what is to stop him from increasing taxes on all manner of goods, before law has been passed? This is a double edged sword.
He could increase the tax for small vehicles tomorrow at a whim. Or unga, or sugar..e.t.c
