Kenyan taxpayers have until December 31, 2026, to avoid penalties, interest, and fines on overdue tax debts. The Kenya Revenue Authority launched the 2026 Tax Amnesty Programme on July 1, offering full waivers for qualifying debts. The programme allows individuals and businesses to settle unpaid taxes without facing financial penalties.
The amnesty covers taxes owed up to December 31, with no specific limit on the amount. Participants must submit their tax returns and settle outstanding balances by the deadline. The initiative aims to improve tax compliance and reduce the national debt.
Authorities hope the programme will encourage more taxpayers to come forward. The KRA has emphasized the importance of timely action to avoid future complications. The deadline is set to ensure all eligible taxpayers have a clear opportunity to benefit.
The programme reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen Kenya’s tax system and promote financial responsibility.
