Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), raw material for the manufacture of fertiliser, and improved tea for export will be exempted from value-added-tax (VAT) if Parliament approves proposals in the Finance Bill 2023 that are aimed at bolstering economic growth through President William Ruto’s Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
