First generate a payment registration number, the PRN, on iTax for the tax you are paying. Then dial *334#, choose Paybill and Till Payments, enter the KRA paybill, put your PRN as the account number, enter the exact amount, and confirm with your Airtel Money PIN. The PRN is what ties your payment to your specific tax.
Step by step
- Generate PRN on iTax. Log into iTax and generate a Payment Registration Number (PRN) for the tax due.
- Dial *334#. On your Airtel line, dial *334#.
- Paybill and Till Payments. Select Paybill and Till Payments.
- KRA paybill. Enter the KRA paybill on your PRN slip (commonly 222222 for eCitizen-consolidated payments; some KRA taxes still route via 572572).
- PRN as account. Enter your PRN exactly as generated.
- Exact amount + PIN. Enter the amount on the PRN and your Airtel Money PIN.
Good to know
Pay the exact figure on the PRN: a mismatch can leave the tax unpaid. A PRN can expire, so pay it promptly after generating. Keep the confirmation SMS as proof of payment.
