This interesting,
Cloud is a big space and cloud computing will shape how we consume IT Resources, This a billion dollar segment and thus tax man interest.
Apparently taxable items are not easy to understand, I guess KRA has no online product classification reference guide, which should be in place to guide any business person.
For cloud services, Have seen Local service providers levy VAT on domains, web-hosting and associated cloud services. for example below from Safaricom
For imported cloud services, Am surprised by AWS email, can this be termed as "Imported Cloud Service". How would Tax Man collect VAT that i would pay AWS..? which is US company and not within Kenyan Regulations, Could this open another channel for Tax Man loosing Tax
