NAIROBI, (CAJ News) – KENYA has embarked on a crackdown on unscrupulous individuals evading tax through forged documents to facilitate the operation of foreign-registered vehicles in the country.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) revealed its investigations established that culprits use false payment slips to facilitate the clearance of such vehicles, thus evading payment of transit road toll fees.
In a recent incident, KRA officers investigated a clearing agent appointed by Pwani Hauliers Limited to facilitate the movement of their trucks from Tanzania into and out of Kenya through Lunga Lunga one-stop border post.
“Whereas the agent had been provided with funds to pay requisite duties, he forged payment slips and presented them to KRA as genuine,” Edward Karanja, the KRA Commissioner for Investigation and Enforcement, stated.
