In a recent development, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has issued a new directive specifically aimed at teacher interns across Kenya. According to the directive, teacher interns are no longer required to file Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) nil returns. Instead, they are instructed to utilize the Income Tax Return (ITR) function on the Returns tab of the iTax portal.
This new directive comes as part of the TSC’s efforts to streamline tax filing procedures for teacher interns and ensure compliance with taxation regulations. Intern teachers are advised to make use of the ITR function and fill in the necessary fields as prompted by the iTax portal, thus simplifying the process of tax compliance.
The move is expected to alleviate the administrative burden on teacher interns while also ensuring that they fulfill their tax obligations in accordance with the law. The TSC has urged all teacher interns to adhere to this new directive to avoid any potential issues with tax compliance.
Overall, this directive marks a step forward in enhancing efficiency and compliance in tax filing procedures for teacher interns under the jurisdiction of the Teachers Service Commission.
