The KRA(KENYA REVENUE AUTHORITY)has officially launched eRITS, a new online platform designed to simplify rental income tax compliance. Landlords and property owners can now register their properties, file Monthly Rental Income (MRI) returns, and pay their rental taxes all through this digital system.
This is a welcome move. By making rental income tax more predictable and accessible, eRITS is a tool that helps reduce administrative burdens and improve transparency. But there are key steps all property owners need to take to ensure they stay ahead of compliance:
What You Should Do Now
- Update or register your rental properties properly on the system.
- File your MRI returns timely, even if it’s just a small rental income.
- Use the KRA-provided support channels for assistance (eCitizen portal, WhatsApp, KRA offices) if you encounter any issues. What This Means for Businesses & SMEs
For many SMEs and landlords, tax compliance has often felt like a necessary burden. But with eRITS, there is an opportunity:
- Improved credibility and trust with stakeholders and investors
- Lowered risk of penalties for late or incorrect filings
- Easier financial planning when regulatory obligations are clear
At Chartafai LLP, we view eRITS as more than just another tax tool; it’s part of the evolving landscape of governance. It aligns with our commitment to Shaping Trust. Powering Growth. If you’re a landlord, property owner, or just someone navigating compliance, let us help you make sense of the details so you can focus on what matters: growing your business with confidence.
