The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has launched a comprehensive mobile number verification exercise for all taxpayers registered in the iTax System.
The announcement, made on Tuesday, is part of a broader initiative to enhance the authority’s service delivery and maintain data accuracy.
The verification campaign serves as a crucial component of KRA’s ongoing data clean-up exercise, specifically targeting Personal Identification Number (PIN) registration details.
The primary goal is to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the taxpayers’ database.
Do you recall KRA's Tax Payers' Register Clean Up notice from June 24th (see quoted tweet)?
