Celebrating YOU – The Pillar of Kenya’s Progress

Welcome to Taxpayers' Month 2024, a special time for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to recognize and appreciate YOU—the taxpayer. Since its inception in 2005 as Taxpayers’ Week, this celebration has evolved into a full Taxpayers' Month (TPM), dedicated to expressing our gratitude, educating the public, and engaging with the community that drives Kenya’s growth.

At KRA, we believe that every shilling collected represents not just revenue, but a commitment by individuals, businesses, and institutions who are working together to build a better Kenya. This is your time to be appreciated, and for us to reflect on the many ways you contribute to the success and development of our nation.

Why We Celebrate Taxpayers' Month

This month is a time to say THANK YOU for your contributions to Kenya’s economic development, infrastructure growth, and improved public services. Each tax paid by you fuels the building of schools, hospitals, roads, and many other services that uplift communities and drive progress.

Throughout Taxpayers' Month, KRA will host a series of exciting events and activities aimed at:

• Appreciating Taxpayers: Honoring the contributions of compliant taxpayers to Kenya’s economic growth.
• The KRA Summit 2024: Engaging in dialogue on tax matters, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, gain insights from KRA experts, and learn more about our efforts in revenue collection and trade facilitation. We aim to foster goodwill and positively influence public opinion by promoting a collaborative approach to domestic resource mobilization.
• Tax Education Forums: Offering guidance on the ever-changing tax landscape to ensure you stay informed and compliant.
• Employee Well-Being Initiatives: Supporting KRA staff with wellness programs that foster a motivated and empowered workforce.
• Recognition and Awards: Celebrating top taxpayers in various categories for their exemplary compliance and dedication to supporting Kenya’s future.

Theme: Facilitating Trade to Grow Our Economy

This year’s theme, "Facilitating Trade to Grow Our Economy", highlights KRA’s commitment to creating a transparent, supportive, and collaborative tax environment. We understand the importance of making tax compliance easier and more accessible, and we’re leveraging technology and partnerships to foster economic growth.

Together, we’re building a future where resources are equitably distributed, supporting businesses, entrepreneurs, and innovators. The revenue you contribute helps Kenya stay competitive on the global stage while supporting government initiatives that improve the lives of all Kenyans.

Join Us in Celebrating You!

As we kick off this special month, KRA extends its heartfelt appreciation to all taxpayers, large and small. You are the foundation of Kenya’s revenue success, and your contributions ensure the nation’s stability and continued growth. Thank you for your compliance and for being a responsible citizen. Together, we are building a brighter future for generations to come.
