KRA Issues Urgent Warning to All TSC Teachers
KRA Issues Urgent Warning to All TSC Teachers, The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has issued a critical memo to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), urging all teachers under its payroll to urgently file their 2024 Income Tax Returns before the fast-approaching June 30, 2025 deadline.
Less Than Half of TSC Employees Have Filed Their Returns
As of June 4, 2025, KRA reports that out of the 406,084 TSC employees on the December 2024 payroll, only 190,176 (46.83%) had filed their tax returns.
Penalty Warning: Failure to file by June 30 will result in a penalty of Ksh 2,000 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is higher.
KRA’s Official Memo to TSC CEO
In a letter addressed to Ms. Eveleen Mitei, Acting CEO of the Teachers Service Commission, KRA emphasized the need for the commission to help reach 100% compliance by reminding all employees to submit their returns via the KRA iTax portal:

Note: After July 1, no further waiver of penalties and interest will be granted.

Act Now: Avoid Last-Minute Rush
Teachers are strongly urged to log in to the iTax portal, download their P9 forms via the T-Pay portal, and file their 2024 tax returns as soon as possible.
This proactive step not only ensures compliance but helps avoid unnecessary penalties and secures eligibility for the ongoing tax amnesty program.
