Panic is rising at Times Tower. I am reliably informed that KRA is relaxing 2025 tax filing rules. Right now, the rule is brutal. If you paid for a purchase in 2025 and the seller did NOT give you an eTIMS invoice: • You cannot automatically deduct that expense. Instead: • You must prepare an Excel list • List all such purchases • Attach whatever receipts you were given • Submit the list to KRA Only after KRA approves it, That is when you can deduct the expense. But here is where KRA cornered everyone. - KRA inserted one dangerous column in that list. It is called the 'Seller's PIN' for every single expense line. Now, where will you get PINs for: • Matatus • Farmers • Jua Kali merchants et al Even formal sellers have refused. Completely. They have sworn they would rather be hung than release their PINs. They, • Fear customers will expose them to KRA • Fear customers will exaggerate purchases (100 becomes 2000) • Fear KRA will accuse them of under declaring income As a result, • Taxpayers cannot complete their filings • 2025 tax returns are stuck • KRA is missing its tax collection targets Panic has entered Times Tower. Now, wind has it that by end of this month: • KRA will remove that one dangerous column. You will still: • Prepare the list of purchases • Submit it to KRA But WITHOUT the seller’s PIN. Is this a welcome move? Can it be simplified further?
