Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has ruled out an extension of the June 30 tax filing deadline. Kenyans who do not file tax returns also risk being blocked from applying for jobs, open bank accounts or registering land. “The law does not allow extension for the filing of returns,” KRA replied to an inquiry by the Star yesterday, noting it will not give any extension. Filing for the 2020 year of income tax returns started on January 1, 2021, with the taxman expecting over five million taxpayers to file their annual income tax returns by the deadline. Filing tax returns is one of the taxman’s ways of netting tax cheats and growing the income tax segment, as it pushes to meet its tax obligation.
