KRA Online Services Enhanced

The issuance of PIN has been fully automated following the successful launch of electronic registration services with effect from 30th March 2009. Henceforth manual processing of PIN has been discontinued with the previous PIN certificate being replaced with a new one specifying the tax obligations for which a taxpayer has elected to be registered (see box for specimen certificate). Concurrent with these changes has been the phase out of the traditional VAT registration certificate and its replacement with the generic PIN certificate. To date over 25,918 new entrants have enrolled through the new system while 495 taxpayers filed their monthly VAT returns electronically in April 2009. Presently focus is geared towards marketing the new system for wider usage in addition to providing effective back up support. Piloting of the new PAYE e-filing module has also commenced with roll out planned for May 2009. Queries on the KRA Online service should be directed through the KRA Call Centre on 020 4999999.
