KRA Calls Kenyans to Update Personal Details on Portal; How to Update PIN
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has urged Kenyans to update their personal identification number (PIN) details on the portal. This comes in the aftermath of a cleanup of the taxpayer register.
The KRA’s Commissioner for Domestic Taxes has issued a public notice requesting Kenyans to correct their details on name, phone number, email address, residency status, physical location of businesses, directorships, and partnerships held.
The update aims to ensure the integrity of the taxpayer’s register and to enhance service delivery to all taxpayers.
How To Update Information
To update their information, taxpayers should log onto the KRA’s self-service portal, itax(dot)kra(dot)go(dot)ke, using their KRA PIN or ID number and password.
Then, under the registration menu, select the “Amend PIN details” option. After selecting the sections they want to update, taxpayers should update the details, attach supporting documentation where necessary and submit.
If they experience difficulty in making the changes, taxpayers should reach out to the contact centre on the phone or send an email to the call centre (at)kra(dot)go(dot)ke.
Alternatively, they could visit the nearest tax service office or a KRA desk at any Huduma Centre nationwide.
The KRA’s upgrade of the Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) earlier this year, enables business owners to file returns more efficiently using several devices.
The upgrade aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the tax system by reducing paperwork and simplifying the tax filing process.
With the use of eTIMS, business owners can now file their returns, get their tax compliance certificate, and manage their tax accounts more efficiently.
The update covers name, phone number, email address, residency status, and physical location of businesses, directorships, and partnerships held.
The KRA has provided various channels for taxpayers to make the changes, including the self-service portal, contact centre, tax service office, and KRA desk at any Huduma Centre nationwide.
