    "content": "You can bet with your Kshs20 and win Kshs200 million and you do not even have a PIN. Because you are not in a position to provide the PIN, based on this amendment, withholding tax will be withheld. The gaming company will tell KRA that we have withheld Ksh20 million from somebody whom we do not know because he does not have a PIN. The KRA will not track what happens to his or her spending on the Kshs180 million that he or she has won from other Kenyans and how you progress with it. So, it is very important that we have this PIN. It is important to understand why PIN was introduced in this country. It was for purposes of broadening the tax base and being able to track the flow of revenues and payments between a payer and payee. The KRA then reconciles who is claiming tax and who is paying it, so that when you claim the final tax, already KRA knows that withholding tax has been paid on your behalf and they are expecting you to pay the balance. How do they expect you to pay the balance when they do not have reference?"
