Remember to file your tax returns in good time

The Covid-19 pandemic has substantially disrupted business continuity and in the process, defined a new normal. Most operations have been migrated to virtual platforms to ensure business continuity even at the minimal. The pandemic has hit the country at a time when the annual tax returns filing exercise starts to gather momentum.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is among government agencies that handle the biggest number of walk-in customers. A few years ago, the numbers would grow monumentally during the filing season as taxpayers visited KRA offices countrywide to submit their tax returns. This was before KRA automated returns filing and tax payment through the iTax system.
