| dc.description | The paper discusses briefly the reasons for budgetary plight
which faces most large cities and particularly those in the developing
countries. The case of Nairobi, a primary city subject to many of the
forces discussed above, is then examined in some detail and a forecast
given of its fiscal outlook by 1985.
The almost inevitable gap between revenues and expenditures is,
in the case of Nairobi, seriously deepened by the recent abolition of
the Graduated Personal Tax, a major revenue source of the city. Various
methods of coping with the fiscal crisis are then discussed anda substitute
tax measure suggested, designed not only to replace the lost GPT revenues
but to improve the efficiency of the city's revenue structure. The
suggested measure proposes the imposition of a municipal surcharge on
the national income tax liability of Nairobi residents. Albeit
tentatively, the paper examines the various economic and administrative
aspects of the surcharge. | |
