Aki, i appreciate your comments however we must appreciate where we have come from and where we are heading, there are great men and women on this list doing great work as far as propelling ICT in this country is concerned despite challenges in the legal and regulatory framework to name a few, i will start with PS Ndemo, Alex Gakuru who is on this list Vincent Ngundi at Kenic, Dorcas Muthoni, John Walubengo, Evans Ikua as well as the convenors of Skunworks Phares, Josiah and the rest of the guys. I suggest that you put your ideas on paper and share with any of this guys, or groupings, something will definately happen, on VAT and internet i know there are many factors that determine the budget, maybe you could touch base with GITS Regards On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 10:26 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
I think an example should have been the Govt in its budget would remove VAT on all internet services. This would include any type of service provided on this infrastructure. Then there should have also been an emphasis on community and closed networks and tax breaks on products that fall into this category. Finally all solutions offered under the internet scheme should also have no vat applicable.
my theoretical solution lies here : Let Kenya be the first TAX FREE ICT sector. This includes no VAT on shipping and other charges.
