Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78803, member: 636"] The Kenya Bankers Association wants to adjust income tax brackets to put more money in workers' pockets. Their proposal would raise the lowest taxable income threshold and lower the top rate. They argue this change would increase household spending and strengthen the broader economy. KBA's CEO stated that higher take-home pay boosts consumer demand, which helps small businesses and can encourage job creation. The group also believes improved disposable income leads to better loan repayment rates, benefiting financial institutions. They counter potential revenue loss concerns by claiming a stimulated economy would ultimately widen the overall tax base. This recommendation is part of ongoing public input for next year's finance bill. [/QUOTE]
