Kenya’s tax collections grew 2.89 percent to Sh1.58 trillion in the nine months to March 2025, Treasury data shows, marking the worst year-on-year performance in more than a decade excluding the pandemic period.

The growth from Sh1.54 trillion in a similar period last year came in a year when the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has largely been focusing on expanding the taxpayer base and leveraging technology to catch tax cheats following the withdrawal of the tax bill.
