Consequently, KRA affirmed that it does not require participants to pay registration fees for its auctions.
The taxman added that the planned auctions of goods and vehicles can be confirmed on their KRA channels such as the website and the verified social media handles.
“Beware of fraudsters! KRA does not charge any registration fee for vehicle auctions. If someone asks for money upfront, it’s a scam!” KRA warned.
“Get verified auction details only from official KRA platforms. Stay informed. Stay safe!”
