@WashiraX The other problem comes when you have to declare that expense and you find that you only have an invoice for a thousand dollars when your actual expense is 1250 total! Sio practical!

The symbiotic relationship across the value chain that we are forging with pooltable manufacturers and pool business owners is one that many didn't see coming. Now more people are interested in investing in pooltables especially because of the mpesa automation.

@omwashKE I don't see anything wrong here. Watched twice and saw nothing.

Finance Bill 2026 is asking for permission to kill local businesses.

Right now, if your company makes profits, you can choose to:

• Reinvest profits back to business
• Or distribute it as dividends to shareholders

Finance Bill 2026 wants that removed. And be replaced by one hard rule. That,

• At least 60% of your profits can be treated as dividends by KRA. Even if you did NOT distribute anything.

“At least” means minimum.

KRA can push it to: 70%, 80% even 90% if they don't like you.

Read that again.

Meaning:

• If you reinvest all your profits in your business, KRA will says:

- Noo. At least 60% must be distributed to shareholders. And since you didn’t, we will assume you did, and demand dividend tax from you.

As a result:
• You are taxed on money you never paid out
• 5%–15% withholding tax on “deemed” dividends

Who is in cooked?
• SMEs reinvesting profits to expand
• Manufacturing businesses expanding
• Real estate firms with paper profits but no cash

Who is safe?
• SEZ companies
• NIFC companies
• REITs
Because their dividends are already exempt.

But for everyone else, this is a forced dividend rule.

The govt is no longer waiting for you to run your business. They want KRA to run it for you.

Is this fair taxation? Or forced extraction?

Whoever came up with the phrase cheap is expensive certainly never fueled at Astrol Petrol Station.

1. It is 100% Kenyan, founded in 2000 by the late Thayu Kamal Kabugi and is now run by the son, James Mwangi.
2. They not only own the land their stations are built on to cut costs but also manage their stations directly rather than franchising.
3. Their fuel contains a high 91 PON rating, which is higher than the premium fuels around, including V-Power.
4. They are not only 2 - 7 shillings cheaper but also never hoard fuel whenever there are shortages.

We don’t appreciate such companies enough

@WashiraX It's tiring listening to these tax things year after year, every time they take a little more!
