1. Are you registered for VAT obligation ? (should be able to get this from the pdf they sent in the emails since you cannot log into the iTax portal)

2. Those side businesses have you registered with KRA and obtained VAT number ?

If any of the above questons is yes, then dont even think of turnover tax discussion as it is to guide you determine whether you will apply for VAT or not.

If the answer to both questions is NO, then start thinking of turnover tax.

This is applicable when your annual turnover is less than 5M and it is at 3% of the turnover - no deductions. Self assesed. Going this route I hope you have all transactions well documented and can show your turnover as well as the amounts paid to the taxman. Key word here is book keeping.

If you book keeping is poor then you will have veeeery long and deep discussions with the taxman. However showing up is enough goodwill and dont feign too much ignorance or be the 'know it all' defensively.

Just go through what you know (and can prove income wise) then show what you have paid for tthen ask to compare with their records. Should be ok and pin reactivated.
