The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has ruled out any extension of the June 30 deadline for filing 2025 income tax returns, warning that taxpayers who fail to comply by midnight on Tuesday will face penalties and possible default assessments.

In a statement issued on Saturday, KRA urged taxpayers who are yet to file their returns to do so immediately, saying there will be no grace period beyond the statutory deadline.

"KRA wishes to remind taxpayers that there will be no extension of the filing deadline. All returns must be submitted on or before 30th June 2026, in accordance with the law. Taxpayers who fail to file by the deadline will be liable to the applicable penalties and may also be subject to default assessments," the Authority said.
