KRA to collaborate with Eastleigh traders on tax c*mpliance
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced a collaboration effort with Eastleigh traders for tax compliance and awareness.
In a statement after meeting the Eastleigh Business District Association (EBDA), KRA Commissioner General Humphrey Wattanga said the collaboration would enhance trade facilitation and simplification of tax payments.
"Through this collaboration, KRA will tailor its engagement and tax outreach framework to respond to the unique needs of the Eastleigh Business Community, and thereby drive compliance," he said.

EBDA Chairman Ahmed Abdullahi welcomed the move by the taxman stating that regular engagements had greatly improved the perception of the taxman among the business community.
“Our people are willing to work with Kenya Revenue Authority and contribute their share of taxes towards the Ksh3 trillion mark, and even exceed it. Tax must be paid; tax evasion is criminal and whoever evades must face the full force of the law,” Abdullahi said.
The engagement comes days after the taxman engaged the services of Revenue Service Assistants (RSAs) to seal tax loopholes, especially among small and medium enterprises.
