Every taxpayer who had penalties and interest from not filing or filing their KRA Returns late need to take advantage of the ongoing KRA Amnesty that runs upto 30th June 2024. Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is giving tax amnesty to taxpayers who have penalties accrued upto the period ending 31st December 2022 and also those who have unpaid principal tax which they have to pay in installments and have their penalties and interest waived. Meaning those who have only penalties and interest qualify for automatic amnesty while those with principal tax have to apply for KRA Amnesty.
The KRA Amnesty Certificate will be issued to taxpayers who had penalties and interest also to taxpayers who have paid their principal tax. Once the Amnesty has been applied for, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will issue you with a KRA Amnesty Certificate that confirms that you have granted Amnesty of Fines, Penalties and Interest as provided under section 37E of the Tax Procedures Act 2015. The KRA Amnesty Certificate Details includes; Tax Obligation, Tax Period, Interest Amount, Penalty Amount, Fine Amount and the Total Amount.
