Tax returns filing for persons with employment as the only source of income has now been simplified into a few steps. This category of taxpayers can now file their tax returns using the auto-populated function on iTax where essential details required are pension contribution, mortgage interest, and Home Ownership Savings Plan. PIN holders who did not have any income during the 2019 year of income are expected to file a nil return. KRA said it is in the process of enhancing this application to accommodate other iTax operations for a better user experience. The pandemic has hit the country at a time when the annual tax returns filing exercise starts to gather momentum.
