KRA Launches Mobile Tax Payment App to Improve Compliance for Individuals and SMEs

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has introduced a new mobile tax payment application aimed at improving compliance and simplifying the tax process for individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The platform enables taxpayers to make payments directly via mobile devices, receive real-time digital receipts, and submit tax returns using QR code functionality, reducing paperwork and streamlining verification processes. The move is part of KRA’s broader digital transformation strategy focused on improving efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in tax administration. For SMEs and individual taxpayers, compliance costs have often included time spent navigating complex systems, delayed confirmations, and manual processes. The new mobile solution is expected to shorten payment cycles, reduce friction, and improve overall user experience. The launch reflects ongoing efforts by KRA to enhance revenue collection while making compliance more convenient, particularly for small businesses operating in Kenya’s expanding digital economy.
