Kenya enhances Tax Compliance Certificate application process
- Implementation of Validation Process: Beginning January 1, 2026, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will validate declared income and expenses in income tax returns against TIMS/eTIMS records, withholding tax data, and customs import records, enhancing tax compliance and accuracy.
- Supporting Documentation Required: All declared income and expenses must be backed by valid electronic tax invoices, accurately transmitted with the buyer’s PIN when applicable, ensuring that taxpayers provide proper documentation for their financial declarations.
- Impact on Filing Returns: This validation will apply to returns for the 2025 year of income or accounting period filed via the iTax platform, indicating a shift towards stricter enforcement of tax compliance measures in Kenya.
