KRA has graduated to your tax accountant,
Courtesy of the Finance Act, 2026.
• Starting in January 2027, it is KRA that shall FIRST tell you, what income it believes you earned in 2026. And what taxes you shall therefore pay.
KRA will do this by generating a pre populated income tax return using the information it already has, such as:
• eTIMS data
• PAYE records
• Withholding tax records
• Plus any other information already in KRA systems
KRA shall then send you this pre-populated return by 31st January 2027.
Once you receive it, you have 2 MONTHS (February and March), and 2 OPTIONS. To either:
• Confirm it. If it is correct. Or,
• Reject & amend it. If KRA got the numbers wrong. And provide your own numbers together with supporting documents.
- If you make your amendments late. Or,
- You do not make any amendments at all,
KRA shall conclude that you have agreed with its assessment, and you shall pay the KRA generated tax bill.
After that, you can use the amended or confirmed return to file your taxes as follows:
• If you are a human being, file by April 30th 2027.
• If you have no flesh & blood (company, partnership, trust, etc), file by June 30th.
(Or the last day of the sixth month after your accounting year ends.)
One more critical mistake to watch.
• Do not assume KRA's numbers are always correct. The law has expressly given you the right to accept or reject the pre-populated return before filing.
Lessons:
• Proper bookkeeping is King in 2026.
• Mark the new tax timelines in your calendar.
Now, reread this slowly.
What makes a population of over 50 Million people normalize dysfunction from a few politicians? Is it fear, conditioning, survival, or something else entirely?
Who actually understands this, psychologists, sociologists, historians, anyone?? Feel free to weigh in✌🏾
@ahmednasirlaw Poor women in public and mission hospitals who got their children free of charge and with dignity, sure remember it. Go up North and ask them.
@TextBookCentre Why do you take online order and then start taking customers in rounds? Mara you don't have the books mara sijui refund after 72 hrs. Order Number : 839954 what happened? Am I getting my books or the money?
I have gone to my collection branch, and the order is not even in the queue. Why is there no order cancellation option in the email or website? @TextBookCentre my child is going to a boarding school outside Nairobi without books courtesy of misleading information on your website
@TextBookCentre why do you have an option of online orders to be picked after 3 hours when you know you can't deliver. How come you are not able to explain when I can pick my order. Why do you have a 72hr refund policy for refund which is not indicated on the website?
This gap between the tax burden and the value received raises important questions about the integrity of the tax system and the effectiveness of government spending. - Soko Directory https://t.co/KCc2eofQFg
This is so sad at so many levels, especially at a time when parents are paying 45-47% of their income to tax and SHIF. It is the paradox of paying high taxes amid collapsing education and health systems that I can't fathom.
Another KCSE Candidate Is Dead
Parents of the deceased say they had no money to take him to hospital as teachers at his school say the scrapping of EduAfya has affected learners from poor backgrounds.

@ArtyIvy@StandardKenya Wait. So since it has worked for other children the death of 2 children is inconsequential? Scientist... Do no harm? Transparency... so that findings can form a basis for further investigation and research...?
Just know this truth:
ADANI CONTRACTS with JKIA, KETRACO & SHA will in fullness of time bring down State Corporations, Listed Companies , Law Firms, Auditors, Banks, PR Agencies.
Politicians, CEOs, Lawyers, Buccaneers, Brokers & Errand-boys will end up in jail. They will pay back Billions to the State. Remember ENRON in US & GUPTA in South Africa. Don’t ever say in your defence then that you were forced.
I still can't believe that Martha Karua, when she was Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, tabled a sex offense bill in parliament stating that The registered sex offenders list be made public and the MPs said NO and frustrated her because of that.
