Ruth AkinyiDo not use anyone who asks for your iTax password. If you hire a tax agent, check that they are legitimate and keep control of your own account.Do not use anyone who asks for your iTax password. If you hire a tax agent, check that they are legitimate and keep control of your own account.

Victor BarasaMake sure payments are matched correctly. If you paid but the system still shows a balance, bring your payment receipts and ask KRA to allocate them.Make sure payments are matched correctly.

Start by reviewing KRA's requirements and your current tax status through the official iTax system. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to file outstanding returns, settle taxes due, or address other compliance issues. The correct requirements depend on the taxpayer and type of activity. If the system gives a rejection reason, resolve that specific issue or seek help from a qualified tax professional.

Treat the certificate as a result of good tax housekeeping. If your registrations, returns and payments are up to date, the application is usually straightforward.

Check which tax obligations are linked to your business PIN. If the wrong obligations are listed, you may be asked for returns you do not owe, so ask KRA to correct them.
