Instead of going to Times Towers to queue; I found out that u can logged your returns via KRA website. It worked for me. You have to register for the online services. Additionally u can walk into any post office and log ur returns with them for onward transmission to KRA. At Nyayo stadium post office there only 2 guys on the queue while at times tower the queue was upto central bank.

info is money

I am an already registered tax payer. I was filing my vat returns. So you first register as an online user. You select existing tax payer option,you will be requested for your pin and other information. Eventually you will be emailed a security key which u use to log in and access the services. Some manuals are avaliable on that page in PDF form. Try going thru them. Good luck.

You guys are right. With the new online system,your messanger doesn't have to line up at Times Towers all day. If your VAT Book is filled up,please note you will not get another one,you will be required to go online to file your returns.

You can do your PIN Application,VAT Returns and by May,your Income Tax returns.

Go to www.kra.go.ke/portal to register as an online user. In case you have any queries,please call the KRA Call centre on 4-999-999 or email: callcentre@kra.go.ke

Hi guys.

Don't know if this has been asked before but here goes:

I have a "dormant" private company. I realize that I have to file returns. So I registered on the KRA online portal. I had no V.A.T number but the V.A.T obligation was activated.

Am I liable to file returns for all the months I've been dormant?
And what else do i need to do to keep on the right side of the law?

Thanks in advance.

@Qognito, maybe the answer lies in your signature. The law clearly states conditions for VAT registration / obligations, but the portal has quietly created a virtual obligation. Should you submit?

Come to think of it, unless legislation forces people to comply, not more than 6-15% of tax payers would use the portal. The conditions for VAT remain turnover [3.0 Million in 12 months] and certain types of businesses [dealers in jewellery, autoparts, consultancy, computers etc] as specified in the Act.

@Muganda Thanks for the info. I think computer services are not included in that list. I'll check on it some more.

So we got the company registration 2 years back. Since we are into freelance, anybody know what else I need? Like council permits et al. And what other documents you need to file with what bodies.

Pardon my naivety. I am new on it all.

Thanks again, in advance.

@Qognito read document carefully...

...Computer services of any descripton, including the provision of bureau facilities, systems analysis and design, software development and training, but excluding training offered to students...

Council permits necessary if you've got an office I think.
