KRA to ditch Excel for web-based tax filing system
KRA headquarters at Times Tower, Nairobi. The authority is adopting a web-based system as it seeks to streamline filing following changes brought about by Finance Act 2026.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) plans to overhaul the income tax return filing infrastructure by abandoning the Excel file download and adopting use of a web-based system as it seeks to streamline filing following changes brought about by Finance Act 2026.
The law has amended Section 52 of the Income Tax Act to introduce a staggered system for filing income tax returns, with natural persons expected to file by the end of the fourth month following the end of their year of income.
