A Tax PIN Confirmation Form is used to verify that an individual or business’s Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Personal Identification Number (PIN) is valid, active, and matches their registered details such as name, address, and identification. This process is critical for HR, procurement, vendor onboarding, legal contracts, and compliance checks.
Why It’s Important

-
Accuracy in Records: Ensures correct details during audits and filing.
