Audit firm urges Treasury to give six-month tax amnesty

A tax firm has proposed a six-month tax amnesty period be given to those who have not paid their taxes. This is to give them time to come forward and volunteer to pay their taxes in exchange for waiver of penalties and interest.

“Kenya is ripe for a tax amnesty, considering the many changes that have taken place in tax administration since the last tax amnesty in 2004,” said Atul Shah, Chief Executive Officer at PKF East Africa.
