KRA opens six-month tax amnesty with 100% penalty waiver - the-star.co.ke

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has launched a six-month tax amnesty program offering taxpayers a 100% waiver on penalties for outstanding taxes. This initiative aims to encourage compliance by allowing individuals and businesses to settle their tax obligations without facing financial penalties. The amnesty period provides an opportunity for those who have previously defaulted on tax payments to come into line with legal requirements. Such programs are often used by governments to increase revenue collection and reduce the backlog of unpaid taxes. The move could have significant implications for both the economy and taxpayer behavior in Kenya.
