Orçamento: Quênia mantém imposto de importação sobre celulares

O Ministério das Finanças mudou sua posição sobre a remoção da taxa alfandegária de 25 por cento sobre celulares importados.

O Ministro das Finanças, John Mbadi, confirmou apenas a remoção de algumas outras taxas ao apresentar o orçamento no Parlamento na quinta-feira, mas não mencionou planos para eliminar a taxa alfandegária de 25 por cento. Em vez disso, Mbadi disse que o Quênia apresentou um pedido à Comunidade da África Oriental para ter permissão de remover a taxa alfandegária sobre matérias-primas e peças usadas para montar telefones modernos localmente. O governo havia planejado anteriormente eliminar essa taxa, juntamente com 16 por cento de IVA, 2,5 por cento de taxas de importação e 2 por cento de taxa de desenvolvimento ferroviário. As propostas foram submetidas ao Parlamento em 8 de maio e posteriormente enviadas à EAC em 15 de maio.
