The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced that it will automatically file tax returns for individuals and businesses who fail to meet the June 30 deadline.

• Non-compliant taxpayers will face a default assessment under section 29 of the Tax Procedures Act.
• The KRA will use data already within its systems to compute tax liabilities, potentially differing from the taxpayer's independent declaration.
• A Ksh 2,000 penalty for late filing will still apply, and taxpayers may lose control over accurately declaring income and deductions.
