Mbadi descarta alegações de novos impostos sobre cripto e pão

O Secretário do Gabinete do Tesouro, John Mbadi, esclareceu que o Projeto de Lei de Finanças de 2026 não introduz novos impostos sobre criptomoedas, pão ou transações de dinheiro móvel.

Mbadi falou durante uma coletiva de imprensa na segunda-feira, 25 de maio, depois que o Tesouro publicou infográficos oficiais. Ele explicou que as propostas sobre ativos digitais buscam preencher lacunas na estrutura legal, em vez de impor novos impostos.

Ele refutou relatos de uma retenção na fonte de 5 por cento sobre criadores de conteúdo digital e de IVA sobre o pão. Ele também afirmou que não há imposto de circulação sobre veículos automotores ou acesso do governo a dados pessoais do M-Pesa.

O Tesouro confirmou que as propostas para aumentar o imposto sobre renda de aluguel residencial e tributar roupas importadas de "mitumba" foram retiradas após consultas públicas. Os esclarecimentos surgem enquanto os legisladores se preparam para revisar o projeto de lei após a participação pública.
