I alluded that we only have a budget of about Ksh5 billion despite tax refunds being in excess of Ksh50 billion. This is a clean-up to ensure taxpayers are allowed to offset their current tax liabilities from excess tax they might have paid, even if that was under a different tax bracket. For instance, if you overpaid your input tax, you are allowed to offset it, whether from your corporation tax, Pay-As-You Earn (PAYE) or any other tax head in your tax obligation."}
