Taxpayers win right to amend, approve KRA pre-populated tax returns
Changes to the Finance Bill 2026 will allow taxpayers to amend KRA-generated tax returns and require the authority to explain certain tax avoidance assessments.
Taxpayers will now be empowered to amend and approve income tax returns pre-populated by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), marking a major win for Kenyans in the Finance Bill 2026.
Pre-population of income tax returns took effect on January 1, 2026. The process allows KRA to use alternative sources of data, including withholding tax certificates, customs duty data and third-party information such as bank statements, to determine a taxpayer’s income and tax liability.
