“This policy that will enhance transparency in our tax regime will take effect by June 2023 and will now be in place for a minimum of three years,” Ruto said.

Value Added Tax on exported services will also be removed in the Finance Bill, in the coming budget, in June this year.

Also, effective June 2023, all verified tax refund claims will be payable within six months.

“If for whatever reason a refund is not made by the Kenya Revenue Authority within this period, the taxpayer can offset their claim against future tax liability, without further application to KRA,” Ruto said.

Both local and foreign investors have in the past decried an unpredictable tax regime in the country which has affected long term investment decisions.

The head of state said Kenya is open for business, noting the government is keen to ensure policies and institutional framework is designed to make the country the most competitive investment destination in the region.
