    "content": "Convention that permits source-based taxation of international transport services. This reinforces Kenya’s commitment to a fair, modern, and globally aligned tax system. Clause 26(e) that addresses taxation framework for Special Economic Zones (SEZs) proposes to limit tax incentives strictly to licensed SEZ developers, operators, and enterprises, rather than these benefits broadly across all entities within the zone. The Committee observed that the current approach has enabled excessive access to incentives. It has been abused in some instances, resulting to high fiscal costs without commensurate economic benefits. The proposed adjustments seek to align with broader policy objectives of reducing tax base erosion and profit shifting while promoting fairness, neutrality, and targeted support within the tax system. The Committee supported this proposal noting that a more focused incentive structure will enhance accountability and ensure intended beneficiaries are those generally contributing to the economic objectives of the SEZ framework."
