KRA iTax systems to be unavailable for 4 hours

The Kenya Revenue Authority is set to conduct scheduled maintenance of the iTax system.

In an X tweet on Saturday, the Authority noted that the maintenance will take place from October 1 at 8 pm to October 2, at 12:01 am.

“The Kenya Revenue Authority informs all stakeholders that there will be a scheduled maintenance of the iTax System. Any inconvenience caused is highly regretted,” the tweet read.

iTax is a system that has been developed by KRA to improve efficiency.

It allows taxpayers to update their tax registration details, file tax returns, register all tax payments, and make status inquiries with real-time monitoring of their ledger/account.

Users usually visit the Authorities portal (itax.kra.go.ke) in order to access their details.

On October 2, the Authority will launch the Annual Taxpayer's Month and unveil its online auction as well as the Tax Amnesty.

In a statement, KRA noted that the launch is a way of giving back to taxpayers.

"KRA celebrates the Taxpayers' Month annually to appreciate compliant taxpayers for their patriotism in dutifully remitting their taxes in the financial year 2022/2023," reads the statement.

According to the Authority, the event will be celebrated throughout the month of October.

It will be marked by customer-centric activities countrywide including taxpayer appreciation visits, taxpayer education, Annual Tax Summit and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
