Kenya is running its third tax amnesty in recent memory with only tax liabilities & debts accrued on or before 31st December 2025 being eligible.
· How is it designed?
· When does automatic waiver of the interest, penalties & fines kick in, when is one required to apply for the amnesty
· How does its working vary if a tax payer opts for lump-sum principal tax settlement vs structured payment plan settlement?
On Mon 2nd Nov on @FiledPodcast we will be breaking down all that relates to the ongoing tax amnesty programme with @KoiKaruga1

The Kenya Revenue Authority has told the National Assembly's Finance & Planning Committee that:
· To close the gap in VAT collections among micro & small taxpayers one strategy that will be deployed entails use of financial data, including Till Numbers & Pochi la Biashara, to identify undeclared income.
· To address the challenge of PAYE shortfall among micro & small taxpayers, the authority will be matching employer/payroll data with third party data
· To close the gap in Rental Income Tax, it intends to leverage the eRITS fusion engine to weed out non-compliant property owners. KRA says it has identified 1.0 million property owners)
Between July & September 2026:
· Domestic VAT mobilised Kes 98.2 billion, missing target by Kes 2.6 billion
· PAYE mobilised Kes 154.9 billion, missing target by Kes 7.3 billion
The first raft of Finance Act 2026 measures kicked in on July 1st as the government seeks Kes 98.6 billion worth of additional tax revenue in the financial year 2026/27.
After the brief hiatus via Finance Act 2025, this year will see resumption of the September 1st effective measures.
This week on @ntvkenya's #BusinessRedefined, we speak to @KoiKaruga1 regarding what has taken effect & the implication for businesses & households.
July 7th, 7:30pm!
UPDATE: Finance Act 2026 Tax Amnesty guidelines.
The Revenue Authority has published the guidelines for the Tax Amnesty Programme that took effect on July 1st courtesy of Finance Act 2026.
What do you need to know?
· The automatic qualification for full waiver on outstanding interest & penalties is open to two categories of taxpayers:
1. No formal application is required for any taxpayers who cleared their principal taxes by 31st December 2025. You are eligible for automatic qualification for full waiver on outstanding interest & penalties
2. Taxpayers with no principal tax due but facing late filing penalties. The caveat here is that all outstanding returns must be fully filed to trigger the automatic amnesty
· Payment terms are as follows:
1. Taxpayers who make a lump sum payment of their outstanding pre-2026 principal tax will instantly receive a waiver on the corresponding penalties and interest
2. Taxpayers who are unable to make a lump sum payment will be required to apply for a structured payment plan via iTax. Important to remember that all principal taxes under the plan must be fully cleared by 31st December 2026 to qualify for the waiver
· What is not eligible under the current amnesty programme?
1. Tax liabilities arising on or after 1st January 2026
2. Principal amounts that are the subject of active litigation. KRA advises such taxpayers to utilise the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) framework
