The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has launched a tax amnesty program that offers eligible taxpayers the chance to erase their outstanding tax debts and the penalties, interest, and fines associated with them. The 2026 Tax Amnesty Programme is open to those who have failed to file returns or have outstanding tax balances, up to December 31, 2025.
To qualify, taxpayers must pay the full amount of their qualifying principal tax. Once this is done, they can benefit from a complete forgiveness of the related penalties, interest, and fines. KRA has urged taxpayers to take advantage of the amnesty, emphasizing that settling the principal tax is the key requirement. The program aims to help individuals and businesses clear up their tax debts that have grown over time due to accrued penalties. Taxpayers can participate through KRA’s iTax platform.
