The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) sincerely appreciates Taxpayers for turning out in large numbers to file their income tax returns for the period ending 31st December 2024. The large turnout not only demonstrates the patriotism by Kenyans, but also the trust and faith you have bestowed on the tax administration.
Due to the high volume of taxpayers attempting to file their returns on 30th June 2025, the system experienced technical difficulties which disrupted the normal functioning of the return filing and payment services, preventing a number of taxpayers from submitting their returns on time.
Cognisant of the challenges faced by taxpayers during the period and taking into account the provisions of Section 89 (5a)(b) of the Tax Procedures Act, KRA assures the public that we will undertake to waive any interest or penalties that may accrue due to late filing of the end year returns for the year of income ending 30th December 2024, provided that such returns are filed by 5th July 2025.
Kenyans are advised to take advantage of the extension to file all their returns and pay any taxes that are due before the expiry of the date as specified.
