Dear all,

Tax Justice Network Africa has sued the Government of Kenya in the High Court, challenging the constitutionality of the Kenya-Mauritius Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) signed in Port Louis, Mauritius in May 2012. The DTAA between Kenya and Mauritius was nullified by Kenya's High Court on the 15th of March 2019 thus granting part of Tax Justice Network Africa’s submission. Watch to learn about its stakes and implications following the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA0XQbrA7lk&t=81s

More about DTAAs to be covered during the ITJA 2019 event, starting on June 24 in Senegal. Stay tuned!

Best regards,
