KRA Introduces Automated Payment Plan for Taxpayers

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced a new Automated Payment Plan (APP) to help taxpayers settle outstanding tax debts more conveniently.

The system will allow eligible taxpayers to pay their tax arrears, including principal tax, penalties and interest, in structured instalments.

In a public notice issued on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, KRA said the initiative is part of efforts to make tax compliance easier and more efficient.

To qualify for the APP, a taxpayer must have a valid KRA PIN and be fully registered and updated on the iTax platform.

The tax liability must already be confirmed in the KRA system and should not be under dispute or appeal.

The taxpayer must also show that they are unable to pay the full amount at once and must submit a payment plan proposal through iTax or any other approved platform for review.

The repayment period allowed will not exceed six months.

“Failure to adhere to the agreed payment schedule may lead to termination of the plan and trigger enforcement actions. These may include revocation of the Tax Compliance Certificate and other legal recovery measures,” KRA said.
