The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has rejected applications from at least 540 firms seeking waivers under the amnesty programme that has so far recovered Sh8.54 billion from defaulters and tax cheats.

The applications worth Sh287 million were rejected because the income declared was reportedly earned outside the qualifying period of July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2020, for the Voluntary Tax Disclosure Programme (VTDP).
