Summary

    • Typical of any other last minute rush, filing of a tax return a day to the deadline or on the very last day comes with its fair share of unforeseen inconveniences.
    • However, such inconveniences can easily be avoided if taxpayers made use of the time allowed by law to submit their tax returns.
    • Early submission of a tax return is of great advantage to a taxpayer largely because it gives them ample time to complete the process.
    • The taxpayers also find enough room to make any amendments in case they err in their original return.
    • In addition, a taxpayer who works on their tax return early has ample time at their disposal to seek KRA’s assistance in case he or she is stuck at any given stage of the process.
