NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 4 – Kenyans will now have the ability to log in to their iTax portals utilizing their IDs because the taxman strikes to simplify tax returns and encourage compliance.
Previously, people may solely have the ability to log in to their portals utilizing Personal Identification Numbers (PINs).
“While this method remains valid and operational, the introduction of the ID number as an alternative is expected to make access easier and more convenient for many users,” KRA introduced in an announcement.
“The decision to implement this option was driven by feedback from taxpayers who noted that ID numbers are easier to remember and more frequently used in everyday identification processes.”
The iTax platform is a important device in Kenya’s tax system, utilized by taxpayers to file returns, make funds, apply for compliance certificates, and perform varied tax-related transactions.
“Enhancing access to this platform is expected to contribute significantly to KRA’s efforts to expand the tax base through voluntary compliance.”
