Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has simplified the PAYE return filing and payment process to align with feedback received from taxpayers. The simplified PAYE return aims to improve the user experience for all including the public, not-for-profit and private sector.
The simplified process facilitates employers to file returns relevant to their categories of employees. It also integrates with government human resource information system, IFMIS and CBK through API integration for seamless filing and payment of PAYE, Affordable Housing Levy, NITA Levy and other labour related deductions and contributions.
KRA wishes to inform all employers that the full roll out to file using simplified excel PAYE return will be effective from 1st July, 2025. Employers should access and use the simplified excel PAYE return and sample CSVs from the KRA Website: link https://www.kra.go.ke/publications, to align their payroll processes.
KRA appreciates the feedback from taxpayers and will continue to execute industry specific solutions that support tax compliance.
