Kenya Revenue Authority said yesterday oil products destined for
Uganda will from Monday be cleared by that country’s tax authorities.
This follows the rolling out of the East African single customs
territory at the beginning of the year after approval by heads of state
summit last November. The new rules requires all the five EAC members to
post customs officials at the point of entry of their import goods.
The directive means that oil companies transporting petroleum
products to Uganda will now be cleared by the Uganda Revenue Authority
and not the Kenya Revenue Authority as is the case under current transit
regime.
