The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced the introduction of a major shift in how employers file their monthly tax returns by launching a simplified system for Pay As You Earn (PAYE).
The revamped platform is expected to significantly ease the administrative burden of filing taxes, particularly for organisations that deal with multiple payroll deductions.
The announcement comes at a time when employers across sectors have been pushing for reforms to reduce paperwork, minimise filing errors, and align payroll compliance with emerging technologies. According to KRA, the new system, which will be on the rollout effective July 1, has been introduced following feedback from taxpayers. A file image of the reception area at KRA offices in Nairobi.
