If only all the taxes were put to good use, most people would not refuse, as a business you pay tax, you see no benefits, as an individual you pay tax, you see no services, you even to pay health insurance . What are our taxes used for? paying Mps? Buying guzzlers as hospitals and roads get neglected? As fat cats keep getting fatter as the common man is over taxed as KRA keeps using trial and error methods to try and plug the deficits?

Would wish to know how the landlord/tenant reporting thing went?If I was a landlord and you report me,utalipa..

This is a noble idea, let is see how it works out in implementation phase.

You would never know who reported you. Tax obligations never lapse, and that is what should cause people worry. The records exist, and new data keeps coming in with all these legislative victories they are scoring. Never assume cause KRA has not yet claimed tax since some regulation came into effect that you are off the hook ...they are just incompetent and disorganized. A day will come when advances in technology will allow them to scrutinize all these mountains of data and reach whatever deep, dark depths you are hiding and take monies owed from you ....
