KRA release schedule for data collection exercise on rental properties
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has released the schedule for its ongoing data collection exercise on rental properties within Nairobi county.
This comes at the back of last week’s KRA notice indicating that it would undertake a data collection exercise on rental properties within Nairobi Metropolis as part of its tax base program.
The exercise is expected to involve the collection of data on rental properties along major roads in five Sub-Counties including, Kamukunji, Embakasi East, Langata, Kasarani, and Dagoretti North.
The exercise which began is expected to run through to July 30, 2023. Property owners with rentals are obligated to surrender 10 per cent of annual rental income as income tax.
The authority says its officers conducting the exercise will identify themselves using KRA staff identification cards which can be verified by dialing the USSD code *572#, through the KRA M-service App or using Staff verification website.
