Prefer to do it yourself? Follow the guide below.
A company is a separate taxpayer. It needs its own KRA PIN, different from each director’s personal PIN. KRA lists the certificate of registration as the identification for non-individuals.
Check first: you may already have one
Company registration through BRS on eCitizen is linked with KRA, and many newly registered companies receive a PIN as part of registration. Check your registration documents and BRS account before applying again. Do not create a duplicate PIN.
If you need to apply on iTax
- 1Open the official iTax portal and choose New PIN Registration.
- 2Select Non-Individual and the right taxpayer type.
- 3Enter the company’s registration details from its certificate.
- 4Add directors’ details, including their personal KRA PINs.
- 5Choose tax obligations that match what the company actually does.
- 6Submit and download the PIN certificate.
After you get it
- The company files its own returns under its obligations
- Use a company email the directors control
- Update KRA when directors, address or activities change
Keep your passwords, reset links and one-time codes private. Cyber Kenya can guide you and prepare details, but you complete sign-in and verification yourself. Any official government charge is separate from Cyber Kenya’s assistance fee.
