The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has begun sending notices to businesses to review their tax records and settle any outstanding dues before April 30, 2026, to avoid penalties and interest. The notices stem from unidentified business transactions in the final tax obligations for the 2025 financial year. KRA stresses accurate reflection of declared income and expenses.
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) stated it had identified business transactions not declared in the final tax obligations for the 2025 financial year. Businesses are urged to update their records immediately if expenses are missing to ensure correct tax assessments.
An example notice sent to a businessperson read: "We have identified business transactions recorded under your PIN through the eTIMS for the year 2025, amounting to Ksh360,000." It continued: "After accounting for these expenses, your taxable income is Ksh360,000, resulting in a net tax payable of Ksh18,000. Kindly note that this tax should be paid on or before April 30, 2026, to avoid penalties."
KRA warns that failure to comply by the deadline will incur penalties and interest. The penalty for inaccurate or late filing is 5 per cent of the tax due or Ksh20,000, whichever is higher. Taxpayers facing issues are advised to contact support at 0711099999 or via official social media channels.
This initiative forms part of KRA's efforts to boost compliance through digitalisation, including the eTIMS system. As of December 2025, over 500,000 businesses had registered on eTIMS.
