The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) had extended its working hours throughout the weekend to facilitate the filing of tax returns by all PIN holders.
As of Wednesday, June 26, 2019, 2.7 million taxpayers had filed their taxes against a target of 4 million.
Customs offices supporting port operations were open for 24 hours, while iTax Service Centers were operating from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
According to KRA, taxpayers are encouraged to file their returns online using the iTax platform.
For general tax inquiries, taxpayers can access KRA tax returns filing and other services by contacting the KRA Call Centre through the following official contacts: Tel: +254 (020) 4999 999, Cell: +254(0711)099 999, Email.
“All taxpayers are therefore encouraged to utilize all these platforms to ensure that they remain compliant and avoid penalties for late or failure to submit a tax return. This will enable them to acquire Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC), which is a critical document in accessing services.”
As the deadline approaches, KRA has urged taxpayers to file their returns on time to avoid penalties.
