The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has responded to issues faced by taxpayers utilizing the iTax platform as the VAT filing deadline for July 2026 transactions approaches on August 20, 2026. In a statement shared on its X account, KRA attributed the reported problems to a network fluctuation and advised affected taxpayers to try using a different browser or wait before making another attempt.
The authority also cautioned taxpayers to ensure that their return files were properly validated before submission. The situation adds to previous concerns raised by taxpayers over delays affecting the iTax platform, including a surge in traffic in June 2026 that caused intermittent delays. KRA has urged taxpayers facing disputes to use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to settle disagreements with the tax authority and encouraged taxpayers to submit relevant application forms and supporting documents to its Tax Dispute Resolution Office.
