How to Apply For KRA Penalty Waiver – KRA Penalty Waiver Application

Filling KRA tax returns your duty to do so under section 52B of Income Tax Act? Every financial year, many Kenyans become victims of the tax man’s wrath for the failure of filing their returns.  Failure to file returns, including nil returns for those who did not earn taxable income during the year, now attracts a fine of Ksh 20,000 up from Ksh 1,000 with effect from June 30, 2017. The same applies to late filing i.e submissions made after June 30. That is enough money for monthly shopping in a mid-sized family. 

Failure to submit  KRA  returns is a receipt of disaster as you cannot be issued with a tax compliant certificate, which is critical to access tenders or employment in the public service until you clear your penalties.

Here is what to do if you find out that you owe KRA over Ksh 300,000 yet you are not employed ? Well, the tax man is sometimes not as brutal as you may think. This money can be waived.
