The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced significant changes to the annual income tax returns filing process for salaried Kenyans, simplifying it by requiring only the entry of their National Identification (ID) numbers into the iTax system.

• The iTax system will now automatically autopopulate taxpayers' annual income data, including gross pay and statutory deductions.
• This shift is part of the KRA's broader integration of internal tax data systems with external government databases, as stated by Commissioner General Humphrey Wattang'a.
• Previously, taxpayers had to manually input information from their P9 forms, making this change a major relief for salaried individuals.
