KRA targets employers over Sh100bn Affordable Housing Levy default

Kenyan employers are facing increased scrutiny as the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) intensifies efforts to recover over Sh100 billion in unpaid Affordable Housing Levy contributions. The tax authority is seeking enhanced powers to pursue employers who have failed to remit these crucial funds. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure compliance and bolster the financing for the government's affordable housing initiatives.

The recovery of these funds is essential for the continued funding and implementation of the Affordable Housing Programme, which aims to provide housing solutions for Kenyans.
