KRA Agency Fee Jumps 300% to 2% as Parliament Curbs Enforcement Powers

For investors, the legislative clampdown on aggressive tax recovery during appeals is a win for legal certainty, while the fee hike signals potential for more efficient revenue collection without trampling on business due‑process rights.
