Two Nairobi traders have found themselves on the wrong side of the law after they were nabbed in separate but similar tax evasion schemes.
The two reportedly tried to beat the system through the fraudulent use of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Personal Identification Numbers (PINs).
According to KRA, investigations unmasked how the two individuals attempted to manipulate the tax processes by shifting the burden onto other unsuspecting companies.
In the first case, the suspect, a lady, was found to have presented a false KRA PIN to her clearing agent with the hopes of having her imported goods cleared by customs officials without spending a cent in taxes.
