The investigation centers on alleged underreporting of taxable income, potentially leading to significant tax evasion charges. BAT Kenya, a subsidiary of the global tobacco company British American Tobacco, is a major player in Kenya’s tobacco industry. The outcome of this investigation could have substantial implications for the company’s operations in Kenya and may prompt broader scrutiny of tax compliance within the industry.
