dc.description | The Tax Procedures (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is a legislative proposal aimed at amending the Tax Procedures Act in Kenya. It seeks to extend the tax amnesty deadline to June 30, 2025, allowing more taxpayers to benefit from relief measures. The bill also introduces provisions for the Cabinet Secretary to grant tax relief in cases where recovery is deemed difficult, ensuring transparency through mandatory publication in the Kenya Gazette. Additionally, it modifies the computation of time for lodging tax objections by excluding weekends and public holidays, thereby facilitating a more efficient tax compliance process. | |
