The Kenya Revenue Authority has initiated post-Covid-19 measures to bring more people into the tax bracket and curb cheating and evasion, in a quest to meet its collection targets.

KRA plans to employ more than 2,000 additional officers to bolster its pursuit of tax cheats and has offered full or partial relief of penalties and interest on undisclosed taxes under the Voluntary Tax Disclosure Programme (VTDP).
