Kenya High Court upholds that interchange fees are financial services exempt from VAT

  • Affirming a decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal, the High Court held that interchange fees an issuing bank earned from acquiring banks on card transactions are exempt from value added tax (VAT).
  • Based on this decision, interchange fees paid to an issuer under facts similar to those at issue here should not be subject to VAT.
