The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has initiated a tax amnesty programme aimed at Kenyans with outstanding tax debts. According to reports, KRA has started sending messages to defaulters urging them to clear their arrears by December 31, 2026.

This move is intended to provide relief to taxpayers who have accumulated unpaid taxes, allowing them to regularise their tax status within the stipulated timeframe. The amnesty programme was first reported by Tuko Kenya on September 2, 2026.

Details on the specific terms and conditions of the amnesty, including whether penalties or interest on arrears will be waived or reduced, have not been disclosed. Similarly, information on the total amount of tax debt targeted or the number of taxpayers affected remains unavailable.

As of now, there have been no official statements from KRA officials or government representatives elaborating on the programme or its expected impact. Likewise, responses from taxpayers or tax experts regarding the amnesty have not been documented.

Taxpayers with outstanding debts are advised to take note of the deadline and seek further information from KRA to understand the requirements and benefits of the amnesty programme.
