The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has deactivated more than 95,000 accounts of Value Added Tax (VAT) defaulters, marking the first phase of a controversial plan to crack down on evaders.

In a statement on Tuesday, the taxman said those affected are mainly Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) of individuals and businesses that have VAT obligations, but have not yet migrated their accounts onto the online iTax platform.
