Tax Returns: KRA Extends Working Hours
In addition, Kenyans have been reminded to file their tax returns on or before June 30, 2024.
To ensure Kenyans file their tax return on time, the Kenya Revenue Authority has announced the extension of working hours.
Beginning June 3 to June 30, 2024, from Monday to Friday the taxman will be operating for 12 hours at their service centres, contact centres and selected Huduma Centres as indicated in a notice on Tuesday
” Weekdays from Monday to Friday our service centres and selected Huduma centres will operate from 7 am to 7 pm,” reads the notice in part.
The selected Huduma centres operating for 12 hours include the one in Nairobi; Headquarters at GPO, City Square, Kibra, Makadara and Eastleigh.
Also, the main headquarters centres in Mombasa, Nakuru, Kericho, Eldoret, Kitale, Meru, Embu, Kiambu, Laikipia, Nyeri, Kisumu, Kakamega and Kisii counties.
All other Huduma centres will operate normally from 8 am to 5 pm.
Weekend operating hours
Over the weekends, KRA services will only be offered in service centres from 9 am to 1 pm and closed on Sundays.
In contact centres, KRA will operate from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturdays and 9 am to 1 pm on Sundays.
However from June 24 to June 28, 2024 services at the contact centre will be from 7 am to 10 pm.
As the deadline to file tax returns approaches, from June 29 to June 30, 2024, service centres will operate from 9 am to 6 pm on both days.
On both days, the contact centre will operate from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday while on Sunday operation will take place from 9 am to midnight.
In addition, Kenyans have been reminded to file their tax returns on or before June 30, 2024.
In Kenya, everyone with a KRA pin must file their tax returns annually.
Any unemployed citizen with no substantive income including students is required to submit their ‘Nil Returns.’
Employees both in the private and public sectors will need a KRA P9 Form, a mandatory requirement for the process.
- The penalty for non-compliance is paying an additional tax equal to five per cent of the tax due in the period.
