The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is urging employees to request P9 forms from their employers to ensure accurate and seamless tax filing. This directive aims to simplify the annual income tax return process, which runs from January 1 to June 30, preventing errors and penalties.

• The P9 form summarizes an employee's total salary, benefits, allowances, and PAYE (Pay As You Earn) tax deducted throughout the calendar year, crucial for filing via iTax or eCitizen.
• KRA emphasized that failing to file correctly can result in stiff penalties, including a fine of Ksh20,000 or a 5 percent penalty on the tax due.
• The form includes pre-calculated information on personal relief, National Social Security Fund contributions, insurance premiums, and the Affordable Housing Levy, making it easier for taxpayers to determine their final tax liability.
