Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda are losing $2.8 billion each year through their use of tax incentives such as tax holidays for foreign businesses.

Members of the EAC should cooperate to eliminate excessive tax incentives, ensure greater transparency for any that remain, and promote coordination within the East African Community (EAC) to prevent harmful tax competition.
