If You Don’t Want To Pay Motor Vehicle Circulation Tax, Don’t Use Your Car – MP Kuria Kimani

Kuria Kimani, the MP for Molo Constituency and chair of the National Assembly Finance Committee has defended the government’s proposal to levy car owners through a motor vehicle circulation tax.
The tax put forward in the new Finance Bill 2024 seeks to introduce an annual tax that will be paid during motor vehicle insurance cover acquisition. Set at a minimum of Ksh.5,000, the levy will be 2.5 per cent of the vehicle’s value.
Kimani, who described the levy as “a hybrid of income and wealth tax” on Tuesday said the move is meant to encourage investment in what he described as an elaborate local public transport system.
