Fifty per cent of the 4.8 million registered taxpayers — 2.4 million people — failed to meet Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) June 30 deadline for filing returns, official data shows.

The number is higher than the 2.3 million Kenyans who breached the tax return filing deadline within the same period in the 2015 financial year.
