Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) wishes to inform taxpayers that, following the recent intermittent downtime of the iTax portal, which affected the normal functioning of return filing and payment services, the Authority will waive penalties and interest accrued as a result of the system downtime in the Month of September, 2026.
The waiver will be effected in accordance with Section 89(5A) of the Tax Procedures Act, taking into account the period during which the affected iTax services were unavailable or intermittently inaccessible.
KRA will undertake the necessary system processes to ensure that penalties and interest attributable to the verified period of system downtime are waived.
The Authority regrets the inconvenience caused and appreciates taxpayers for their patience and cooperation. KRA remains committed to facilitating compliance by providing reliable solutions.
