A Tax Compliance Certificate is a clearance issued by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to taxpayers who have paid their required taxes. The certificate confirms compliance for a period of five years preceding the date of issue. The Tax Compliance Certificate is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of issue to a taxpayer.
