  "summary": "The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has unveiled the details of the 2026 Tax Amnesty Programme, which offers taxpayers a 100% waiver on penalties, interest, and fines on qualifying tax debts. This amnesty covers tax liabilities up to December 31, 2025, and applies to those who settle the outstanding principal tax. Taxpayers can either make a one-off payment or apply for a structured payment plan through the iTax portal. If taxpayers pay the outstanding principal tax in full during the amnesty window, they will receive an immediate waiver of the corresponding penalties and interest. For those unable to pay the principal amount in one instalment, an Automatic Payment Plan through iTax is available.",
