KRA to be renamed Kenya Revenue Services in move aimed at improving image

NAIROBI, Kenya, April 7 – Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani has proposed that Kenya Revenue Authority be renamed Kenya Revenue service in a move aimed at transforming its image.

While issuing the 2022/23 budget, Yattani said that the rebranding is aimed at rebranding and transforming its public image and subsequently enhancing tax compliance.

Under its new name, Yattani said the taxman will put more focus on improving customer relations and maintaining a clear focus on taxpayers’ needs.

” The change of the name is intended to rebrand the Authority and transform its public image thus enhancing tax compliance through improved public relations and maintaining a clear focus on taxpayers’ needs,” he said

“I have also proposed consequential amendments to other statutes which have reference to the name ‘Kenya Revenue Authority’ and align them to the proposed new name,” he added.
