Wewe kwisha!!! You will just be given notice.

Of course if you are interested you can always "sign a new lease under new terms". You will not be told this (re-signing) in black and white but you will know!

Most lofty agreements are undone by these small clauses. For example, how can I claim to have a ten year lease if all that is required is a three months notice to vacate???

They call it "self assessed income tax" that is why according to you tax due is zero.
Now whether your employer has been remitting your tax is a different story.

The first notification is an acknowledgement that you have filed self assessed returns succesfully. It is a sumnary of what you uploaded. Meaning you can never be fined for not making returns for that year.

The default notice is the difference between what the KRA guys have in their system and what they expect from your declared annual income (hint).

That default notice is not a cause for worry though if you are employed. It does not mean you havent paid your tax dues. It shows there are discrepancies in the records. Have your P9 form ready duly signed from the employer and sit tight.

On expiry of that given period expect an invite to meet the taxmen or maybe taxladies, your P9 ready at hand.

Now if your income is not from 'formal' employment (haujahajiriwa- umejihajiri), hope you kept your tax remittance receipts well.

Finally, if you have paid more tax than was due, the invite should be on the way too to verify that you did pay in excess & to confirm your bank details for a refund.

Swali nyeti ni, how fast are the refunds processed? 30 days like the default? Anyone with experience to share.

Me nimeshindwa kabisa...

so apparently they are still updating their records manually to the itax system.How do they expect the two to reconcile if they are still updating their records manually?This is ridiculous!!!

Woi.

Anyone knows how to fill in this return if one has not worked for the full year?

The computations show a refund is due. I know this is not the case and suspect that the spreadsheet is only designed to compute tax on full year earnings.

And for those in self employment having left paid employment....how does one fill the form, kindly anyone?

Thanks @Lolest, a quick one, if you didn't make enough money to reach tax threshhold, how does that work...? ni hustle tu

You do not need the excel.

Under returns there is "file nil return"

That should sort those not employed.

What is the worst that can happen?

Today is d-day and unless a miracle happens I will not finish.
I did it half way and the system notified me am registered for VAT.This is courtesy a supplies bz I used to do in 2013 which has since stopped.It was in my bz name.

Somebody please advise "where do I go from here"

Used to file returns but when bz stopped,I stopped too.

Taking care of business & our security!!!
