The National Treasury has cut tax projections for the year ending June by Sh516 billion since July 2024, underlining the hurdles the taxman has faced trying to meet an ambitious Sh2.9 trillion target.

In the latest government revenue statement, the Treasury slashed Sh140 billion from the target, leaving the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) with the task of collecting just Sh2.4 trillion.
