The Kenya Revenue Authority, KRA, has directed those with PINs to update them on its iTax platform. The tax man has at the same time informed tax payers to check the genuineness of their PINs.

“Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) notifies all taxpayers whose PIN’s are not updated on iTax to do so, and file all pending annual income tax returns by 30th JUNE 2019 to avoid accruing penalties. Taxpayers are advised to confirm if their PIN is on iTax through the PIN Checker on itax.kra.go.ke and follow the process,” KRA says.
