The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has revealed details of the intricate process that will go into the vetting of betting and gaming companies ahead of the 2024/2025 financial year, as the crackdown against rogue companies intensifies.
In a public notice, the taxman reminded all licensed betting firms that their current operating licences issued by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act (Cap. 131) would expire on June 30, 2025.
With this in mind, these firms will have to undergo a mandatory clearance by KRA, as required under Section 9 of the Act.
For betting firms to confirm their compliance status, there are certain requirements that need to be met.
