Proposed tax measures include raising the VAT registration threshold, increasing tax-free allowances for private sector employees, revising the pension benefits tax structure, introducing an annual motor vehicle tax, extending the deadline for excise duty payments on alcoholic beverages, increasing excise duty on betting and gaming, and introducing miscellaneous fees and levies. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is currently holding public hearings on the Finance Bill 2024. The tax-raising measures and proposals in the Finance Bill 2024/2025 are unlikely to be changed to appease the public. President Ruto aims to increase Kenya's tax-to-GDP ratio from 14% to 22% by the end of his first term. The Finance Committee's final report is expected to make slight adjustments to contentious issues.
