Important KRA Contact Numbers and Addresses for Reaching Kenya Revenue Authority

Dealing with customer complaints and inquiries is a daily task for several companies. It is even more critical for an organization as big and essential as the Kenya Revenue Authority. It is why the KRA needs to have diverse channels in the form of contact numbers and addresses, easing the stress on workers and providing swift solutions to customer complaints.

On July 1, 1995, KRA came into existence with the primary duty of collecting revenue for the Kenyan government. Given that every Kenyan is subject to this mandate, it means the KRA deals with a ridiculously huge customer base. As a result, they are consistently swamped with complaints, queries, and inquiries. What better way to deal with the massive demand than by creating multiple channels for citizens to reach you? Here they are.

Various Channels For Contacting KRA

The KRA functions are multi-faceted, which means they cater to a wide range of people. Some of these roles include:

  • Assessing, auditing, and collecting all revenues due to the Kenyan government according to the provisions of the law
  • To come in as advisors when it comes to the administration and collection of revenues from different sections under stipulated laws
  • Performing other tasks that relate to revenue collection as directed by the Minister of Finance.

To cater to complaints and inquires in all categories, KRA has put have put in place different platforms to reach their customer representatives.

By Calling KRA Customer Care

One way to get in touch with the KRA to report a complaint or get information is by giving the customer care agents a call. There are two numbers readily available through which they receive calls from: You can dial either +234 20 4 999 999 or +254 711 099 999.

Dial either of these numbers using any network operator and request for a customer agent. You can then proceed to ask your questions, make your complaints, or get your queries in.

Note that calling either of these numbers is not toll-free and you will be charged at the standard call rate as with other calls. The call rate is dependent on the network operator and your tariff plan.

Sending an E-mail

If you do not want to call the customer care agents due to lack of airtime or simply not being in a position to talk, you can try sending an e-mail. Sending an e-mail to KRA is another option for contacting them.

Simply create a subject for your mail and proceed to write the content for your mail. It could be a complaint, a query, or an inquiry. Once finished, address the e-mail to [email protected] then wait for a response from them.

If the address is incorrect, you will get a message informing you that the e-mail address cannot be found. So ensure you have the right address before hitting send.

Which is the Fastest Way to Contact the KRA?

Usually, customers want to get swift replies to their complaints and want their issues resolved. The three methods of contacting the KRA mentioned above are all effective. Still, there is no set way to determine which is faster for sure, however, they all have their advantages and their limitations.

Suppose the issue is an emergency that has a timeframe. In that case, your best bet is to pay a physical visit to any KRA office to lodge your complaint and get things sorted in your presence. Physical visits ensure clarity of communication, and you can put pressure on the agent to get to your requests.

If your issue does not have a time frame and you do not have the time to visit a KRA office, calling any customer care line is the best option. It can be time and airtime consuming, but you eventually get to speak to a customer care agent and air your complaints or inquiries.

The least advised option is the mail option. With the mail option, you are not sure if the e-mail has been seen or not. You do not have a timeframe for a reply or a way to determine if they are actively working on your issue. Sending e-mails should be the last resort for complaints or inquiries.
