Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya are the backbone of our economy. However, navigating the Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA) landscape can often seem daunting. But fear not! This guide is designed to simplify KRA compliance for SMEs, ensuring a smoother financial journey.

Why KRA Compliance Matters

KRA compliance isn't just about adhering to rules; it's about maintaining credibility, fostering growth, and avoiding potential legal issues. For instance, a recent survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics reveals that non-compliant businesses face increased risks of audits and penalties, which can significantly impact their financial health.
