Value-added tax in land transactions: Lessons from the Sayani Investments case

The charging of value-added tax (VAT) on the sale of land, whether developed or undeveloped, has long been a subject of contention in Kenya’s tax regime. In the recent case of Sayani Investments Limited v Commissioner of Legal Services & Board Coordination (Tax Appeal E448 of 2023), the Tax Appeals Tribunal (Tribunal) provided much-needed clarity on this issue. The Tribunal held that for VAT purposes, the sale of land, including land with a structure (whether a commercial or residential building), is exempt from VAT under Part II, Paragraph 8 of the First Schedule of the VAT Act (Cap.476). This landmark decision highlights the importance of carefully interpreting tax provisions to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary disputes.
