The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has launched a data cleanup exercise for all registered taxpayers’ pin registration details.
In a statement on Monday, June 24, KRA said the exercise is aimed at ensuring the integrity of the taxpayers’ register and improving efficiency.
“Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), would like to notify all registered taxpayers of the ongoing data clean-up exercise of taxpayers’ Personal Identification Number (PIN) registration details. The exercise is aimed at ensuring the integrity of the taxpayers’ register with a view to enhance service delivery to all taxpayers,” read the statement in part.
The taxman noted that it has rolled out a One Time Password (OTP) for update of taxpayers’ contacts in the iTax system as part of the clean-up exercise.
“Upon logging into iTax, the system will display the mobile number registered in iTax through which an OTP will be sent for validation of contact details,” KRA stated.

“We urge all registered taxpayers to update/correct their registration details as appropriate, on iTax, including their phone number, physical address, email address, physical location of businesses, residency status, directorships or partnerships held etc.,” KRA added.
The authority urged taxpayers with challenges to visit the nearest Huduma Centre or to contact the KRA contact center.
The cleanup exercise comes ahead of the June 30, 2024 deadline for filing individual income tax returns.
