In Kenya, filing income tax returns is a mandatory legal requirement for every person with an active KRA PIN—whether you are employed, self-employed, or even if you had no income (Nil Returns). Missing the deadline attracts heavy financial penalties. At BoraTech Cyber (Opposite Eldoret Hospital), we specialize in making this complex process simple, fast, and 100% accurate.
