In a groundbreaking move to revolutionize tax compliance, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is set to reshape the landscape of income tax filing starting January 1, 2026. By cross-verifying declared incomes and expenses with robust third-party data, from electronic tax invoices (eTIMS/TIMS) and withholding tax schedules to customs import records, this innovative system promises to boost transparency, thwart tax evasion, and propel Kenya's fiscal framework toward global excellence.
