New Tax Amnesty Programme: a second chance for taxpayers

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced a new Tax Amnesty Programme aimed at helping taxpayers clear historical tax penalties and interest.

The programme presents a valuable opportunity for both individuals and businesses with outstanding tax liabilities to regularize their tax affairs and reduce the financial burden of accumulated penalties and interest.

01

Who should take advantage of this?

Businesses with outstanding tax arrears
Individuals with unresolved tax obligations
Taxpayers who have accumulated penalties and interest over the years
Anyone seeking to restore compliance and obtain a clean tax status
02

Why act now?

Time-sensitive

The amnesty is only available for a limited period. Eligible taxpayers should review their accounts, determine eligibility, and submit applications before the window closes.

Delaying could mean losing the opportunity to have eligible penalties and interest waived. If you are unsure whether you qualify or need help reviewing your tax position, seek professional advice early to maximise the benefits available under the programme.
