Airkenya To Pay 14 Million In Import Declaration Fees

Tax Appeals Tribunal has upheld the decision by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to demand Import Declaration Fees (IDF) amounting to Kshs. 14,330,770 from Air Kenya Express Ltd. 

The company, which was the Appellant in the case, had argued that its goods were exempted from payment of IDF, and  that  the  Authority had used the  wrong percentage of 2.5% instead of 2.0% while calculating the fees assessed, leading to an overcharge. 

The Tribunal however noted that although the company’s goods (aircraft and aircraft spares) were exempt from having to submit IDF, they were not exempt from payment of IDF as the regulations did not in any express manner exempt the goods.

On the issue of the alleged wrong computation, the Tribunal noted that the company did not provide any proof of payment as required by Section 30 of the Tax Appeals Tribunal Act 2013 and the allegation was therefore not tenable. 

Our first broadcast of the #KenyaLive campaign is underway with Carel Verhoef introducing some of the team and giving a brief overview of the trip ahead. The #KenyaLive campaign in association with Make it Kenya, will run over a two week period in the Mara conservancies looking at lion activity at night as well, as a turtle rescue and release into the Indian ocean on the coast. The combination of the two brings together the awe inspiring beauty of Kenya, and attempts to illustrate a true Kenyan safari experience to the digital tourist abroad.

Carel (HerdTracker) introduces the team which consists of Jacques van Tonder who will be taking on the role of cameraman filming most of the activities during the trip. Stuart Price will be the resident still photographer and Andre van Kets (HerdTracker) focusing on the Persicope broadcasts and technical aspects of the campaign.
