KRA has also announced that taxpayers who will file their returns by the new deadline will not be charged interest and penalties as a result of the late filing.

Many taxpayers could not file their tax by June 30, 2025 as per the law a move the authority blames on technical hitch.

“Due to the high volume of taxpayers attempting to file their returns on 30th June 2025, the system experienced technical difficulties which disrupted the normal functioning of the return filing and payment services, preventing a number of taxpayers from submitting their returns on time,” said KRA.
