Amending your KRA PIN details is an important step in ensuring your tax profile on iTax remains accurate and compliant with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regulations.
Whether you’ve changed your email address, added a new source of income, or need to appoint a tax agent, the iTax system allows individuals to amend their details easily online.
This article breaks down the KRA PIN amendment process for individuals into clear and simple steps that you can easily follow to amend and update your KRA PIN details on iTax.
How To Amend Your KRA PIN Details
Below are the main steps that you need to follow in the process of KRA PIN Amendment on iTax (KRA Portal)
Step 1: Log in to the iTax (KRA Portal)
Start by visiting iTax using the url https://itax.kra.go.ke, enter your KRA PIN Number, password and solve the arithmetic question (security stamp) to log into your account.
Step 2: Access the Amendment Menu
Once logged in,
- Click on the Registration tab from the main menu.
- Choose Amend PIN Details.
- When prompted, select Online Form (recommended for individuals) instead of the “Upload Form” option.
Step 3: Select the Sections to Amend
The system will display your existing PIN registration details. Tick the boxes next to the sections you wish to change, such as:
- Basic Information,
- Contact Details,
- Postal or Physical Address,
- Source of Income,
- Tax Obligations,
- Agent or Representative Details.
Step 4: Make the Necessary Changes
Now update the relevant information, for example:
- Your email address, phone number, or postal address,
- Your physical location or employer details,
- Your source of income (employment, business, or rental).
Make sure all mandatory fields are filled correctly before moving to the next step. If you are adding a new source of income, select the right type carefully – such as Business Income or Rental Income.
Step 5: Update Tax Obligation Details
Under the Tax Obligation Details section:
- Add any new obligations such as VAT, PAYE, Turnover Tax or Rental Income Tax,
- Deactivate any obligations you no longer need (with a valid justification),
- Indicate the effective date accurately (for instance, when you began earning rental or business income).
If supporting documents are required, upload them – such as:
- A lease agreement for rental income
- Or a business registration certificate for business-related taxes.
Once submitted, KRA will review and approve your changes. Approved obligations will automatically reflect in your iTax profile.
Step 6: Changing Your Source of Income
To change or add income sources:
- Tick Source of Income in the amendment form.
- Update your details under the Basic Information section:
- Employment → Enter your employer’s KRA PIN.
- Business → Choose “Sole Proprietorship” and enter your business details.
- Rental → Specify whether the property is residential or commercial.
Attach the necessary documents:
- Employment: Appointment letter or employer confirmation.
- Business: Business registration certificate.
- Rental: Lease agreement or property ownership proof.
After submission, KRA will verify and update your iTax profile accordingly.
Step 7: Appointing or Updating a Tax Agent
If you wish to appoint or replace a Tax Agent or Representative, especially if you’re abroad or have someone managing your tax affairs:
- Tick Tax Agent/Representative Details in the amendment form.
- Provide your agent’s KRA PIN and other required details.
- Upload supporting documents such as:
- A Tax Agency Appointment Letter signed by both parties,
- Copies of ID cards for both agent and taxpayer,
- A Power of Attorney or court order, if applicable.
After submission, the system will generate an acknowledgment receipt. Once approved, the agent will officially be linked to your KRA PIN.
Amending your KRA PIN details ensures that your tax information is current and accurate. Whether you’re updating your contact details, business information, or appointing a representative, the process is straightforward and fully digital.
Always make sure the information you submit is true and supported by valid documentation. Once approved, your updated details will reflect in your iTax account.
The KRA PIN Amendment process helps individual taxpayers maintain compliance and keep their tax records accurate. It’s a simple online procedure that only takes a few minutes but saves you from potential issues in future tax filings or applications for Tax Compliance Certificates (TCCs).
