💸 Finance Bill 2026 Won't Hit Most SMES Through Higher Tax Rates.

It will hit through:
→ Earlier filing deadlines (cashflow compressed by 2 months)
→ EAC input cost increases (15–35% on regional materials)
→ Heavier compliance burden

📱 Your declared expenses can disappear fast if they're not backed by eTIMS invoices.

Since Jan 2026, KRA validates ALL declared expenses against eTIMS data.

No invoice = expense disallowed.
No registration = no TCC.
Mismatch = audit flag.

eTIMS registration was Step 1. DM us

KRA is reminded taxpayers that the deadline for filing 2025 Income Tax Returns is closing-in and the repercussions for late and non- filing will be severe.

Don't wait until the last minute. Review your records, reconcile your expenses, and ensure your return is filed on time.

⚖️ KRA assessed a sugar trader Ksh 113M using import data + a 20% margin assumption.

The company challenged the methodology.
The Tribunal asked: "Where are your records?"
Silence.

Assessment upheld. Section 56(1) TPA is clear: burden of proof is on the taxpayer.

⚖️ KRA reclassified menstrual panties as "Other" (higher duty). The Tax Appeals Tribunal said no.

Ruling: function beats form. "Other" is a last resort, not a default. GIRs must be applied in sequence.

KRA's reclassification notice is not final. Appeal it.

🏗️ Happy Labour Day.

A wage increase means higher PAYE, NSSF, SHIF & Housing Levy — for employees and employers.

PAYE is due by the 9th. Miss it: 25% penalty + 1% monthly interest.

Labour creates income. Structure protects it.

🏠 Not every Airbnb in Kenya qualifies for MRI tax.

Simple residential hosting → MRI (7.5%) arguable.

Hotel-style operation → VAT 16% + annual income tax.

The classification depends on how you operate — not just what you own.

🏠 Kenya landlords — the 7.5% MRI tax applies to you if your annual rent is Ksh 288K–15M (Sec 6A, ITA).

File monthly by the 20th on eRITS.

Diaspora landlords: MRI does not apply to you. Many are filing wrong. KRA is watching.

Confused? DM us.

⚠️ The CRSP is court-suspended but car duty has gone up anyway.

KRA is now valuing every imported vehicle individually at the port — no reference list, no official notice.

No official communication from KRA yet.

⚠️ FinTechs, digital lenders and mobile money operators: excise duty applies to your fee income — 15% on transfers, 10% on crypto fees, 5% on betting deposits.

⚠️ KRA Already Has Your Income Data. Miss 30 June and They Will File For You.

Kenya's tax system is now dual-track. KRA validates your return against its own records in real time. No return by 30 June = automatic assessment on 1 July — plus prior years.

File first. File right.

[Tomamoru Consulting Limited @Tomamoru20]

📋 KRA has added three new fields to the income tax return — Lines 6, 7 & 8 — for manual non-eTIMS expenses and accrual adjustments. If you are filing your 2025 return, these fields matter. Do not leave them blank.

📅 Book a consultation to file correctly.

⚖️ The Tax Appeals Tribunal has ruled: when a loan goes bad, only the interest qualifies as a deductible expense — not the principal. Lending institutions need to review their bad debt write-off approach now.

🚨KRA Now Blocks TCC for Non-eTIMS Users!

If you haven’t registered on eTIMS, you can no longer apply for a Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC) on iTax.
KRA has officially linked TCC issuance to eTIMS compliance — meaning your TCC application will be rejected until you’re onboarded
