Toyota Kenya has been a major beneficiary of the Excise Duty ACT 2015 which saw the introduction of huge duties on older imported vehicles. In some vehicles the duty went up by over Kes. 200,000.00 hence changing the preference to new or newer vehicles which have a lower duty and are better in the long run.
