Nairobi——National Treasury为其对进口原糖免征部分税款的决定辩护，表示尽管这一举措使政府损失了超过1.04亿Sh（肯尼亚先令）的税收收入，但将有力支持本地制造业。\n\nNational Treasury部长 John Mbadi 在向 National Assembly 的贸易、工业与合作社部级委员会作证时表示，根据 East African Community 法律通知第 EAC/92/2025 号，Mombasa Sugar Refinery Limited 在进口用于工业加工的原糖时被免除了进口申报费（IDF）和铁路发展税（RDL），Kenya Revenue Authority（KRA）据此减免了1.0409亿Sh的税款。\n\n根据 National Treasury 的数据，减免的金额中包含5783万Sh的进口申报费和4626万Sh的铁路发展税。\n\n在 Parliament 努力增加政府财政收入之际，正在对给予私营企业的税收优惠政策进行审查，该项税收减免因而受到密切关注。\n\nNational Treasury 表示，该豁免决定是在对其短期财政影响与预期经济效益进行评估后做出的。\n\n“这一决定是基于对可识别的财政成本与支持本土工业糖制造所带来的预期公共利益之间进行的定性评估。”\n\n“综合考量下，预期的公共利益被认为足以证明给予这项有限度且有条件的豁免是合理的。”

原文原文 / Original Text

Nairobi — The National Treasury has defended its decision to exempt imported raw sugar from certain taxes, saying the move will support local manufacturing despite costing the government more than Sh104 million in forgone revenue.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi told the National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) waived Sh104.09 million in taxes after Mombasa Sugar Refinery Limited was exempted from paying the Import Declaration Fee (IDF) and Railway Development Levy (RDL) on raw sugar imported for industrial processing under East African Community Legal Notice No. EAC/92/2025.

According to the Treasury, Sh57.83 million of the waived amount was from the Import Declaration Fee, while Sh46.26 million was from the Railway Development Levy.

The waiver has come under scrutiny as Parliament examines tax incentives granted to private firms amid efforts to increase government revenue.

Treasury said the exemption followed an assessment of its short-term fiscal impact against its expected economic benefits.

"The decision was informed by a qualitative assessment of the identifiable fiscal cost against the anticipated public interest benefits of supporting domestic manufacture of industrial sugar."

"On balance, the anticipated public interest benefits were considered sufficient to justify the limited and conditional exemption."
