    "content": "If the product is zero-rated, the manufacturer will be allowed to claim the 16 per cent from the tax man, namely, the KRA or the National Treasury. Therefore, that product will be cheaper. So, if the Government wants a product to be cheaper, then they zero-rate it. Zero-rating has majorly been left for exports. On Excise Duty, this Bill is proposing a 10 per cent Excise Duty on betting, which is treated as a sin. Therefore, any tax on betting is called “sin tax”. It is the same as taxation on cigarettes and alcohol. They are in the same family and are treated as sin. Most people who do not take alcohol know this very well. Betting has become very addictive. Therefore, this Bill is proposing to charge Excise Duty on it at 10 per cent."
