Taxpayers have been granted a five-day extension to complete their returns following a major glitch on Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) system on Monday.
KRA Commissioner-General Humphrey Wattanga on Tuesday gave taxpayers up to July 5 to file annual returns for the year ending December 2024 and avoid the five percent penalty of the taxes for residents and Sh10,000 for non-residents.
