This was the second Annual Tax Summit – the inaugural one having been held in 2015. The Summit was attended by senior government officials, global tax experts and practitioners, academia, members of the Private Sector and the citizenry. The theme of the 2nd Annual Tax Summit was “Kenyan Solutions to Kenya’s Challenges – Taxation as a catalyst for Economic Development”. The Summit was structured around three thematic areas namely: tax administration; tax culture; and, tax base enhancement. The overall objective of the Summit was to deliberate on the possible solutions to Kenya’s tax challenges. The sessions at the Summit incorporated presentation of academic papers and showcasing of technological innovations on tax administration, plenary deliberations, key note addresses and a public lecture. There was also the launch of KESRA Strategic Plan. The central focus of the Summit was improving tax administration processes by identifying, implementing and adopting strategic tax innovations drawing from KRA‟s internal and external stakeholders. The Summit reflected on various activities, reforms and initiatives undertaken by KRA towards meeting the needs of taxpayers and addressing specific challenges facing tax administration in Kenya. It was acknowledged that there is a need to continuously improve and enhance tax administration and make it more efficient to realize the overall objective of increasing the rate of compliance and hence, generate more resources. Improving tax administration was critical to funding the country’s key development programs including Vision 2030 Projects. | |
