The volume of tax debts waived under the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) amnesty plan hit Sh165 billion between last December and April as businesses and individuals rushed to take advantage of the window before it closes on June 30.

The KRA says more than three million taxpayers with overdue obligations have taken up the amnesty offer initially rolled out between September 2023 and June 2024, before the second phase opened last December.
