The Boards of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) have reaffirmed their institutions' commitment to transforming tax administration and policy in Kenya.
The pledge was made during a high-level roundtable held at KRA headquarters in Nairobi, building on nearly a decade of strategic collaboration between the two institutions, which are dedicated to creating a fair, efficient, and business-friendly tax environment.
The roundtable highlighted significant milestones from the KEPSA-KRA partnership, including the full implementation of eTIMS, which has led to faster VAT refunds; the introduction of Green Channels to ease cargo clearance; and a tax amnesty that waived Sh650 billion in penalties, thereby enhancing compliance.
The tax base has also broadened significantly, with over 720,000 new taxpayers contributing to over Sh7.8 billion over the financial years since the FY 2019/2020.
