Many Kenyans found themselves on the wrong side of the taxman’s book early this month after their PINs were de-activated.
KRA said the reason for de-activating PINs could have been as a result of failing to file Value Added Tax (VAT) returns yet one had a VAT obligation.
Those whose PINs were de-activated have been going through a tedious process to reactive them.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced an online portal to help taxpayers reactivate suspended PINs.
This comes as a reprieve to thousands of Kenyans who faced strenuous paperwork to restore their tax accounts that had been blocked by the taxman for failing to migrate their profiles to the online platform by end of August.
KRA used this as a broader plan to smoke out tax cheats.
“Has your KRA PIN been suspended? Whatever the reason, don’t panic! Click here to reactivate your PIN”, reads a notice on KRA website.

Also, it could have been because of trading with PIN yet it is not updated on iTax; one could have been declared as a supplier by a VAT registered taxpayer, but was not registered for VAT obligation.
