Thousands of public and private sector employees could miss out on their September salaries after their Personal Identification Numbers PINs were de activated by the taxman.

Mr Hira spoke as several of those affected claimed they have no tax liabilities, raising questions on whether there were errors in the de activations. Mr Hira, citing several sections of the Tax Procedures Act on registration and deregistration of PINs, said it was unclear whether KRA had followed due process in effecting the drastic move. Those affected by the suspension of their PINs are also effectively cut off from making critical transactions that require proof of active registration as a taxpayer, with serious consequences to their businesses. The transactions that require proof of an active PIN certificate include registration of land titles, approval of development plans, registration, transfer and licensing of motor vehicles, and registration of business names and companies. Others are underwriting of insurance policies, customs clearing and forwarding, payment of deposits for power connections, supplying goods and services to the State, as well as opening accounts with financial institutions.

The commissioner may also at any time and in writing, cancel a PIN issued to a person and issue the person with a new PIN. Lawyers had in the wake of an earlier notice by KRA argued that holding a tax PIN is the right of every citizen that cannot be taken away without following due process. KRA does not issue PINs to citizens as a favour but as provided for in law, in the same way the Department of Registration of Persons issues Identity Cards or Passports, Nairobi lawyer Nashon Aluoka had said. It is an instrument that every adult needs to transact the business of life and meet their obligations as citizens and can only be taken away as provided for in law or through a court order, he argued. The KRA, Mr Aluoka said, has not made clear which law it will be relying on to take such punitive action that is likely to disrupt the lives of millions of Kenyans who may not even be owing any taxes.
