It is an obligation of each teacher to file tax returns yearly. Failure to file tax returns is a criminal offense that attracts a huge penalty.
To file the KRA returns, one is supposed to have a P9 form that is generated by the employer.
In April, TSC informed teachers that the Tax deduction cards (P9 Forms) had been uploaded on the payslip portal for all TSC employees to download. This move was to facilitate the filing of the returns.
Late filing of tax returns attracts a penalty of 5% of the tax due or Ksh 20,000 whichever is higher. Late payments of taxes lead to a penalty of 20% of the outstanding tax.
