The Kenya Revenue Authority has directed taxpayers transacting on a customer-to-business model to immediately start remitting taxes to the Authority through the new 222222 Paybill.

This follows a Presidential order for all state agencies to receive payments via the above number.

“Taxpayers are further advised to use the Payment Registration Number (PRN) or the Ref. Number on the Payment Slips generated from KRA Business Systems (iTax, ICMS, EGMS, and KESRA IStudent) as the account number when making tax payment via mobile money,” KRA said.

Payment of taxes via mobile money will involve a taxpayer keying the 222222 paybill, followed by a PRN under the account number section, and the entry of the PRN amount before payment of the fund.

“KRA is in the process of transitioning tax payment for business-to-business transactions to the new PayBill Number and will communicate the same once the process is complete.”
