Operators want VAT exemptions on aviation related products to remain

As the public participation window for Kenyans to share their views on the tax laws and the tax procedures act closes, the Kenya association of air operators has urged the government to align tax policies with international recommendations, such as those from the international civil aviation organization and regional benchmarks under the East African Common External Tariff. The operators in their memorandum to the committee of the national assembly warned that new taxes if not well thought out, could jeopardize Kenya’s position as the region's aviation hub.
