“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.
