Each and every taxpayer in Kenya once they are issued with a KRA PIN which you can apply and get here at Cyber.co.ke Portal, KRA also creates for them what is referred to as KRA Portal Account Account that the taxpayers can access by providing the login credentials that were sent to their email addresses when they applied for the KRA PIN at Cyber.co.ke Portal. 

What Is KRA Portal?

What Is KRA Portal

KRA Portal is simply an online system by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) that allows Kenyans access a variety of KRA Online Services by simply logging into their KRA Portal Accounts and submitting or requesting the same. The KRA Portal is also referred to as iTax or iTax Portal. So, when you hear somebody mentioning KRA Portal, just know that are referring to iTax. 

Since being launched some few years ago, the KRA Portal has advanced in many functionalities that were not there in the previous and now defunct KRA Mapato System. There are a myriad of tasks that a taxpayer can perform on KRA Portal. By acting as a link between taxpayers and KRA, it removes the need to visit KRA Offices or Huduma Centres as the services can be applied and gotten online with ease and convenience.

Just to give you a list of these Portal functionalities but just to name and highlight on a few of the most important ones that are mainly used on a day to day basis by taxpayers in Kenya. We have to categorize these into two groups i.e. Front-End Functionalities and Back-End Functionalities.
