The government aims to get Sh83 billion more from landlords in a revamped tax system under works spearheaded by the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning.

It is the latest attempt by the government to net landlords who have been slippery to the taxman despite attempts to woo them into the tax bracket.

National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi cited landlords among the taxpayers that the government is targeting with the new system.

Others are professional individuals like doctors, lawyers, and accountants who, in addition to their formal jobs, also do consultancy work.
