The key features on the Tv will include: Scheduled live programming of tax awareness activities like Tax Talks, Tax Thursdays, Stori za Ushuru and other education programs. The TV station will also air a wide range of simplified and downloadable content for various taxpayer categories among the many other programmes.

The TV station will be unveiled during the launch of the 2022 Taxpayers’ Month. The annual event is usually organized to appreciate compliant taxpayers for their patriotic act of dutifully remitting their taxes towards the country's development agenda.

During the month, KRA will engage in various activities aimed at honouring and appreciating taxpayers. The activities include; taxpayer appreciation engagements, taxpayer education, tax summit event and Corporate Social Investment (CSI) activities. The event will be culminated by a Taxpayers Award Ceremony and Luncheon hosted in honour of distinguished taxpayers.
