The National Treasury missed its revised tax revenue target by nearly Sh7 billion in the 2025/26 financial year, AllAfrica reported. Treasury data showed tax revenue at Sh2.450 trillion as of June 30, 2026, compared with the Sh2.457 trillion goal. The Kenya Revenue Authority collected Sh2.84 trillion in total revenue during the year.
That figure marked a 10.6 percent increase from Sh2.57 trillion collected in 2024/25. Five sectors generated about 62 percent of the tax total: manufacturing, energy, financial and insurance services, information and communication, and wholesale and retail trade. Manufacturing remained the largest single contributor at Sh462 billion, up from Sh423 billion the previous year.
External borrowing reached Sh1.297 trillion for the financial year. Domestic borrowing totaled Sh697.5 billion over the same period.
