There is a KRA informer system and they reward people who rat out.

Others are industry targeting, random checks, information from suppliers and customers, press and media sources etc.

I don't see why any employer should fail to deduct PAYE from employees' tax. It is not the employer's tax!

Advise the employer to forward the earnings to your debit/credit card(s).

Advise the employer to forward the earnings through an online payment platform. You can then withdraw the cash directly to your bank account.

KRA just doesn't get it - in my opinion if they reduced corporate tax to say 22%, the top rate of personal tax to say 20%, increased the thresh-hold of personal tax (i.e. you only start paying when your income hits say 35k or 40k a month), and widened the brackets - tax revenue would be pouring in like an el-nino (and it would put some tax consultants out of businesssmile ) and tax payers would not find it necessary to consider tax avoidance schemes and tax evasion scams and the KRA wouldn't be spending a billion shillings or more chasing their tails looking for land-lords! VAT could go up by say another 2% to 3% - and this will capture the lower income earners who aren't in the tax bracket.

Again in my opinion, this would also spur wealth creation, investment and employment...and this discussion would be moot...

For me, i would prefer the KRA to ABOLISH the PAYE Income Tax entirely. Then they increase the VAT to 20% for all none food and medicine products.
