Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is targeting to train 100,000 taxpayers on how to file their annual returns on iTax.
The Authority has rolled out a countrywide iTax training targeting among other places, churches, businesses and shopping centres. KRA’s Commissioner for Domestic Taxes Alice Owuor says this will encourage Kenyans to file their returns with ease ahead of the June 30th deadline. “Our nationwide outreach programme has been well received with many Kenyans now using the iTax platform to file their returns,” said Mr Owuor.

The iTax System is a web based application that gives taxpayers the luxury of filing returns from the comfort of their homes or offices at any hour of day or night. The current system allows taxpayers to file returns for Pay As You Earn (PAYE), Value Added Tax (VAT), Individual annual Income Tax Return (IT1), and agency revenue that includes Sugar Development Levy and Kenya Bureau of Standards.
