But most of the times, many taxpayers fail to download this receipt and also the system fails to send the same KRA Acknowledgement Receipt to their email address. So, what do you do in this scenario? Well, the simple answer is to download that Acknowledgement Receipt again from your KRA Portal (iTax Portal) account.
