The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has once again extended the deadline for filing tax returns by four more days to July 5.
The authority has also announced a penalty and interest accrued waiver for all taxpayers, provided they file their 2024 tax returns by the new deadline.
In a statement on July 1, a day after it extended the deadline by a day, KRA revealed that this decision was arrived at due to the portal experiencing technical difficulties on June 30 because of the huge turnout. "Cognisant of the challenges faced by taxpayers during the period and taking into account the provisions of Section 89 (5a) (b) of the Tax Procedures Act, KRA assures the public that we will undertake to waive any interest or penalties that may accrue due to late filing of the end year returns for the year of income ending 31st December, 2024, provided that such returns are filed by 5th July, 2025," the statement read.
