How To Activate Your Suspended KRA Pin

There has been a massive kra pin deactivation campaign in the country targeting non-compliant taxpayers and people who have failed to register their old kra pins on itax.

Traders who have vat and other tax-related issues are the other victims of the kra pin cancellation process.

Now, to have your deactivated kra pin restored, you’ll need to get in touch with KRA to confirm the reasons for its deactivation.

Here is how to reactivate your suspended kra pin:

Step 1: Go the itax portal and use the PIN checker to confirm the status of your pin (valid/suspended).

Enter your pin number then complete the security stamp (the calculation) then click consult.

Once you confirm that the pin is suspended, move to the next step.

Step 2: now go to itax and download the kra pin reactivation form. You’ll need to complete all the details asked for including the pin number, you name or director names(for companies), your current email address, and telephone number etc.

Step 3: send the filled kra pin reactivation request form to the official kra pin reactivation email pinreactivation@kra.go.ke

Step 4: The reasons for the suspension will be communicated to you through the email address you provided. You will be expected to address all the issues raised and as advised in the email.

Step 5: You will then contact kra or follow the procedure specified in the email.
