KRA's radical plan to catch tax cheats
by Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) 11 May '16

11 May '16

Listers, KRA is targeting mobile money as part of the agency’s financial data gathering scheme that is meant to monitor businesses and individuals who are not paying their fair share of taxes. People familiar with the plan said the taxman is at an advanced stage of rolling out a number crunching mechanism that will use electronic data to suggest incomes of those using mobile money to pay bills and make purchases.

Happy Ladies Day! Certainly huge volumes run through the channels. The profits speak to it. A few days back, Google was fighting a government decree to it, tooth and nail to keep unacceptable content on its channels. I am waiting to see if our valued service providers have the guts to fight tooth and nail for their esteemed customers! Aside from that, when the Uber fire was hot, I mentioned that this would be the new human 'car' track. In a few years your movement will be tracked and your taxes computed from this. How might you afford all the travel, tracked already would be the question. Be blessed.
