Kenya's Finance Bill 2026 proposes a significant new tax targeting owners of high-end classic cars. The legislation aims to increase government revenue by imposing substantial duties on luxury vintage vehicles.

• A hefty 50 per cent excise duty will be levied on antique, vintage, or classic vehicles valued at a minimum of Ksh10 million and at least 30 years old.
• This proposal comes from the National Treasury, with the aim of taxing a niche segment of wealthy car owners and dealers.
• The measure is part of broader tax amendments expected to take effect from July 1, 2026, if passed by Parliament and assented to by President William Ruto.
