The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has a free hand to compel taxpayers to provide details of wealth they failed to disclose in their annual tax returns and offer the taxman free access to their records, computers and mobile phones.
This was the verdict of a High Court judge after he dismissed a suit challenging sections of the tax law that offered KRA unfettered access to people’s premises, records and devices as well as the need for the taxpayer to provide the information when required.
