LOL, no one can outperform Kibaki. Free Primary Education versus concrete blocks?
If it were not for that free primary education, you would probably be a bandit in Suguta Valley.
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.
Mimi hushangaa sana na hii life. Between when we broke up and now, nimekuwa na warembo watatu. I don't think about them a single day in my life, lakini huyo jambazi must pop into my head 50 times a day. We broke up 5 years ago. Any relationship since her does not count somehow
What Julians has submitted is extremely critical. Extremely.
Right now:
• You partly tell KRA what you earned
• You tell KRA what tax you owe
If finance Bill 2026 passes,
It is KRA that will strictly tell YOU:
• What you earned
• What tax you owe
How?
• By pulling data from anywhere
• eTIMS, banks, third parties, govt ministries integrations, etc
If KRA sends you a tax bill. And it is insane. And you disagree. Who must prove it is wrong?
The bill says it is you.
But here is the danger. KRA is NOT required to tell you:
• Where they got the data from
• Or how they arrived at the figures
So you are left there. Trying to fight numbers you cannot see.
And some of those numbers could be system errors.
Now ask yourself,
- How do you disprove something you don’t even understand? Are you an angel?
What Julians is saying is simple.
If KRA wants to tax you using their data, KRA must prove to you and the courts that that data is:
• Accurate
• Reliable &
• Defensible
Is that a fair argument?
Or should taxpayers just fight ghosts?
