Kuria Kimani","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Speaker, there are three VAT rates in Kenya. A product can be vatable under the standard rate of 16 per cent, exempt from VAT, or zero-rated. The difference between a zero-rated and exempt product is that, for a zero- rated product the manufacturer is allowed to claim the amount of VAT they spent during input.
