“All PIN holders with an Income Tax Obligation who are yet to file their 2025 Income Tax Returns are reminded to do so immediately and avoid the last-minute rush before the filing deadline of midnight, Tuesday, 30th June 2026. No extension of the filing deadline will be granted,” KRA warned.

The Commissioner warned that taxpayers who fail to file their 2025 Income Tax Returns by the due date will be liable to the applicable penalties under the law.
It further stated that late filers may also be subjected to default tax assessments in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
