About the Handbook

Making Technical Tax Information More Accessible

KRA is committed to making tax administration accessible, inclusive and responsive to every taxpayer. For Deaf taxpayers, technical tax, customs and systems terminology can create communication barriers where standardised Kenyan Sign Language signs are unavailable, often requiring lengthy explanations, fingerspelling or improvised signs.

The Kenyan Sign Language Tax, Systems, Customs & eTIMS Handbook provides a standardised reference for 302 terms, supporting clearer communication, consistent interpretation and more independent access to KRA information and services.
