Peter Kaluma","speaker":null,"content":" Flow metres should be a requirement to regulate the amount of the alcoholic products we unleash to the market. It will enable distillers account for whatever they produce and unleash. It is playing a social good. I understand the Chairman to be saying that we want to create a pathway around which even distillers who have not installed the so-called flow metre can operate. That is what I understand him to be saying. First, I will oppose this provision if that is the direction. Secondly, we impose Excise Tax for the societal good that we need to regulate what is going and account for them around alcohol. The other reason is that we will be creating disparities. Some people have incurred costs in installing these flow metres yet you are allowing others to enter the market without installing them. Ultimately, if you permit, my last point is that you target to raise an amount of money with a Finance Bill. We should not accept amendments unless we explain the amount of money we are costing the Government in terms of revenue loss."},{"id":1586214,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586214/?format=json","text_counter":621,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Question, that the new clause be added to the Bill, put and agreed to)"},{"id":1586215,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586215/?format=json","text_counter":622,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"New Clauses 42A, 42B and 42C"},{"id":1586216,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586216/?format=json","text_counter":623,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Homa Bay Town, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

Kuria Kimani","speaker":null,"content":" I beg to move that New Clauses 42A, 42B and 42C be now read a Second Time. New Clause 42A seeks to impose a 5 per cent Excise Duty on amounts deposited in a customer's wallet. It seeks to impose excise on fees charged on transactions by a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP). There are two things. Say you have money on your mobile wallet, whether M-Pesa or Airtel Money, then you transfer that money to the wallet of a betting company. The current taxation regime is such that charging of Excise Duty happens when you place a bet from the money already placed in the wallet of the betting institution. We are now changing that to make Excise Duty payable when you transfer money from your mobile wallet to the wallet of a betting company. This has this impact. So many institutions operate virtually. For example, outside the country. Therefore, we are not able to get this Excise Duty from them. Now it means that Excise Duty is paid every time a Kenyan transfers money from their mobile wallet to a betting company’s wallet. Secondly, it is a consequential amendment to what we provided earlier on Excise Duty now being paid for virtual assets on transaction fee and not the transaction amount. New Clause 42B defines the time an amount is deposited in a customer's wallet. As I have explained. The New Clause 42C is also a consequential amendment as I had spoken earlier. It is about excisable services offered by the Defence Forces Welfare Services (DEFWES). I beg to move."}]}
