How this page works

Status is based on KRA announcements, Downdetector user reports, and our own filing attempts throughout the day.
We update this page multiple times daily during deadline week (15th–20th of each month) when outages are most common.
For historical patterns, see our iTax congestion guide and maintenance schedule.
This is an informational status board, not an official KRA source. Always verify critical filings via itax.kra.go.ke or KRA support (020 499 9999).

Don't want to monitor KRA yourself?

We file on the 17th - before the rush - and handle any portal errors for you. KES 3,500/month.
