The Kenya Revenue Authority has sent a warning to Kenyans who have not registered their their Personal Indentification Number (PIN) on the iTax platform that they risk invalidation.

The move by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is seen as a drastic response to the millions of taxpayers that do not file tax returns and are not adequately captured on the tax system.

“As of July 2017, KRA has noted that there are taxpayers who have not migrated their PINs into iTax while other taxpayers who are already on iTax are either not filing or those in active businesses are filing nil or no returns at all,” KRA said in a notice to the public.

KRA has set the deadline for Kenyans to respond to the warning by Aug 31 or be deactivated.
