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.

The issue to be decided was whether the employee’s dismissal was automatically unfair, given that the reason for his dismissal was his inability to perform an inherent requirement of the job, working between sunset on Friday and sunset on Saturday, because of his religious beliefs.

Capital management and planning for banks: when strategy must meet innovation.

'Banking regulators in Africa generally strive to better protect depositors and maintain stability in the banking sector. The Central Bank of Kenya ( CBK ), following in the footsteps of the Central Bank of West African States, the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bank of Uganda, has through enactment of the Business Laws (Amendment) Act No. 20 of 2024 on 11 December 2024, now required banks to gradually raise their core capital ten-fold to KES 10 Billion by 31 December 2029.

Court reaffirms that holders of floating charges pre-Insolvency Act, retain the right to appoint receivers

The general rule in statutory interpretation is that legislation does not apply retrospectively unless expressly stated or implied by necessity. However, Parliament has the authority to enact laws that apply to past events. This principle is frequently tested in court, particularly in cases concerning contracts and security instruments created before the enactment of new laws.
