Steps to follow in filling KRA's Nil Returns

Those eligible to file Nil Returns should ensure they do so, because failure to file the KRA returns on time attracts penalties.

To avoid these fines, individuals should ensure that they file returns before the deadline of June 30 each year.

To file Nil Returns, all you need is a KRA PIN, access to the iTax portal, and a reliable internet connection.

The first step in filing the returns is logging into your KRA iTax account by visiting itax.kra.go.ke and entering your credentials.

The next step is accessing the returns menu. Click on Returns, then choose the option File Nil Returns.

Afterwards, select the Tax Obligation icon and choose Income Tax - Resident Individual, and your details will be filled automatically in that section.

You will proceed by clicking Next to fill in the Tax Return Form. Here, you will enter your return period (e.g., January 1 – December 31 of the previous year).

Skip the “Wife PIN” section if it is not applicable to you.

Submit the Nil Return by clicking on the Submit icon, then confirm your submission by selecting Yes.

The final step is downloading your KRA receipt from a confirmation message that will appear with the download link.
