At a time when we are considering reducing the Corporation Tax rate, and at a time when we have preferential Corporate Tax rates for particular institutions, it is important that we think in future to revisit these PAYE bands."},{"id":1586763,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586763/?format=json","text_counter":1170,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Molo, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Kuria Kimani","speaker":null,"content":"We asked the National Treasury in our report to do an analysis of what this impact will be in terms of numbers, so that we try to reduce, to have more disposable income available to Kenyans on their PAYE as well. A company, for them to calculate their Corporation Tax, they are allowed to deduct their tax-allowable expenses, their rent or power bills, but not for employed people. They are not allowed to deduct the expenses that they incur in the duration of their income. So, your transport to work is not considered when they are calculating your PAYE. But the transportation that a company does in their course of business is considered as a taxable expense. So, we have asked the National Treasury to do an analysis of this and hopefully in the subsequent legislation, then we will be looking forward to reviewing this so that, at least, we try to have a higher disposable income available to Kenyans."},{"id":1586764,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586764/?format=json","text_counter":1171,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Molo, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.
