So today I woke up feeling very patriotic enough to pay my honest taxes. In Matatu parlance it is called 1080 aka advanced tax. First I went to several cyber cafes looking for ' those who know' how to generate the pay slip. To do that you must open an itax account. Then you have to join the long queue at Equity Bank. They give you a slip to take to another longer queue at KRA. They generate a confirmation slip. Am still asking myself why in this age of mpesa, why I must walk with a batch of papers across town just to pay my honest part of national building

Once you have a paying in slip generated from itax then you pay at the bank maneno kwisha. The bank will confirm you have paid online. That's my experience anyway. Why go to KRA??

All local taxes do is pay fat salaries/allowances and contribute towards Waiguru type schemes. Nation building is done with donor funding kikiumana.

Why are you wasting your time queuing and filing paper work. Just save yourself the hassle and take your money directly to akina waiguru and duale. That is where it will end up anyways!

And remember to ask them to issue you with a certificate for advance collection. Submit the certificate with the annual returns and hola you are done.

That way, the beneficiaries get the tax money without having to collect it at some basements on Moi Avenue.

I am not so sure if this is the right place to post, but let me do it anyway. I would like to know whether the clearing system where merchandise is bought in China, Europe, Dubai, etc and sent to Kenya via Eldoret Airport where the only charges are freight charges per kilo.. No clear NORMAL Customs charges/ IDF declarations are made. The value of the goods is not taken into account, only the weight. Then, the goods are collected in Eastleigh ready for sale. Now, what is KRA's position on this matter? I understand, that the same KRA inspectors visit shops asking for IDF documents for the goods and they have to be given bribes since the documents are non-existent. I believe, we live in a very unfair society because those who clear their merchandise through the traditional customs clearing model end up paying much much more than their "Eastleigh system" counterparts..
