The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) offers taxpayers with outstanding principal tax the option to settle their debts through a payment plan instead of paying in a single lump sum. This arrangement is available on KRA's iTax platform and covers eligible principal tax liabilities until December 31, 2025. However, taxpayers must ensure the principal tax is fully paid by December 31, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest.
The payment plan allows taxpayers who cannot pay the full amount upfront to organize their payments over time. Once approved, taxpayers receive a Payment Registration Number (PRN) to use when making their payments. They must keep track of their payments and balance to ensure the entire eligible principal tax is cleared by the deadline.
While the arrangement waives penalties and interest, it does not cancel the tax obligation, and taxpayers must still pay the full amount within the stipulated period. To apply for the payment plan, taxpayers must log in to their iTax account, select "Payment," then "Apply for Payment Plan (New)," and complete the necessary information. The application is then submitted to KRA for approval.
