Kenyans and stakeholders are invited to propose changes to the country's tax laws as the National Treasury prepares for the 2027/28 Budget and Finance Bill 2027 earlier than usual. The Treasury aims to have the Finance Act 2027 enacted before Parliament breaks for the general election. Proposals can include introducing, removing, or modifying tax provisions, improving administration, or addressing gaps in the existing system.

The early start of the Finance Bill cycle differs from the traditional timeline, allowing for proposals to be gathered while the 2026/27 financial year is still ongoing. The public consultation asks stakeholders to consider increased expenditure needs, constrained debt capacity, and limited revenue mobilisation. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit specific, fiscally responsible, and regionally relevant proposals by August 31, 2026.
