The Kenya Revenue Authority temporarily suspended the filing of nil tax returns until the end of March as part of efforts to convert non-filers into active taxpayers. Deputy Commissioner Patience Njau said the pause will allow KRA to validate taxpayer data and audit income, withholding tax, eTIMS, and customs records. The authority said the move aims to widen the tax base, improve compliance, and reduce overreliance on a small pool of consistent taxpayers.
