The Kenya Revenue Authority’s Customs and Border Control Department recorded its highest monthly revenue collection in July 2026, reaching Ksh92.53 billion. This surpassed the Treasury’s initial target of Ksh86.16 billion by Ksh6.37 billion. The achievement marks the start of the 2026/27 financial year with a strong performance.
The Treasury had previously set a broader tax collection target of Sh2.78 trillion for the year, but recent reports suggest adjustments due to slower economic growth. Officials have warned that domestic weather shocks could further impact public finances. Despite these challenges, the Customs and Border Control Department’s success highlights resilience in revenue collection.
The KRA’s performance comes amid ongoing efforts to stabilize Kenya’s economy. While the tax target remains under review, the July figures signal a positive start. The government continues to monitor economic indicators closely as it navigates broader financial pressures.
