Attention Taxpayers! Don’t Miss Out on KRA’s Tax Amnesty

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has good news for taxpayers. Facing outstanding taxes with accrued interest and penalties? The recently introduced tax amnesty offers a chance for a fresh start. Let’s break down what this means for you.

What is the tax amnesty?

The Finance Act, 2023 offers a waiver on interest and penalties for tax debts incurred up to December 31st, 2022. This is a limited-time opportunity to potentially save significant money and settle your tax obligations with the KRA. The amnesty period runs from September 1st, 2023 to June 30th, 2024.

Here’s How it works:

• Paid your principal taxes on time?
  If you’ve already settled all your principal taxes by December 31st, 2022, you’re in luck! You’ll automatically receive a waiver on any related interest and penalties. No need to apply.
• Outstanding Principal Taxes?
  If you haven’t settled all your principal taxes for periods up to December 31st, 2022, here’s what you need to do:
  1. Apply for Amnesty: Submit an application to the KRA Commissioner for a waiver on interest and penalties.
  2. Propose a Payment Plan: Outline a plan to settle your outstanding principal taxes. Be sure to pay them in full by June 30th, 2024.

Important Note: The previous tax waiver and abandonment provisions have been removed. Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity offered by the tax amnesty.
