The Finance Bill is a document which details various tax measures that the government seeks to implement in a financial year to raise revenue.
Notably, the 2024/2025 financial year is being run without a Finance Bill owing to the withdrawal of the contentious bill that led to nationwide protests in June.
Some of the tax measures that were proposed in the Bill include the Motor Vehicle Circulation Tax and the Eco Levy among others.
The government has occasionally blamed the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 on misconceptions and poor public participation.
According to the initial plan, the government was to collect over Ksh300 billion through the implementation of the withdrawn bill.
