The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has published a list of countries whose financial account information will now be automatically shared with Kenya as part of enhanced tax compliance measures.
In a public notice dated December 18, 2025, KRA said the move is anchored in the Tax Procedures (Common Reporting Standards) Regulations, 2023, and aims to strengthen oversight of offshore income and assets held by Kenyan taxpayers.
The listed jurisdictions will exchange financial account data with Kenya under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), a global framework designed to combat tax evasion and promote transparency in cross-border financial activities.
Under the arrangement, banks and other reporting financial institutions in Kenya will be required to submit details of accounts linked to individuals or entities with tax residency in the listed countries. The information will then be shared automatically between KRA and foreign tax authorities.
KRA noted that the reporting will apply to tax periods beginning January 1, 2025, meaning financial transactions and accounts from that date will fall under the new disclosure framework.
The authority said the measure will make it harder for individuals and businesses to conceal offshore income, including interest, dividends and other investment returns, while enhancing the government’s ability to detect tax discrepancies and recover unpaid taxes.
