How tax omissions could cost Justice department millions of shillings in accrued interests

Judiciary owes Kenya Revenue Authority millions of shillings.

The Judiciary risks paying millions of shillings in interest on Sh300 million tax deducted from payments made to suppliers and unrecovered tax from employee contributions.

In the latest report by Auditor General Edward Ouko on the year ended June 2017, KRA had carried out a compliance audit covering July 2013 to June 2016, which concluded that the Judiciary had failed to recover withholding tax and tax on employer pension contributions in excess of Sh20,000 for each employee per month.
