KRA posts Sh58.2bn revenue miss in first quarter - Business Daily

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) recorded a revenue shortfall of 58.2 billion shillings in the first quarter of the 2026/27 fiscal year, despite a 14.4% increase in total revenue receipts to 655.8 billion shillings compared to the same period in 2025. While overall revenue, including tax and non-tax revenues, was higher than last year, the shortfall indicates that KRA did not meet its revenue targets. This reflects ongoing fiscal challenges amid government pressures for tax cuts and increased spending. The revenue deficit highlights the persistent fiscal difficulties faced by Kenya.
