The Kenya Revenue Authority has reminded taxpayers that the 2026 Tax Amnesty Programme closes on 31 December 2026. The relief waives 100 per cent of penalties, interest and fines on qualifying tax debts accrued on or before 31 December 2025, but only if the principal tax is paid in full by the deadline.
The window opened on 1 July 2026. Taxpayers who cannot pay the principal in one sum may use a payment plan on iTax. The entire principal under that plan must still be cleared by 31 December 2026 for the waiver to apply.
People with unfiled returns for periods up to 31 December 2025 are advised to file during the amnesty period. KRA is urging businesses and individuals not to wait until December, when portal traffic and payment delays usually rise.
