Nyandarua County Revenue Administration Policy 2022

Abstract

The need to have working systems, protocols and actionable standards in Revenue administration highlights the pertinent need for an effective policy. The policy framework ensures that the County Government of Nyandarua will optimize Revenue Administration and consequently the collection. Even with prevailing extensive use of technology, revenue administration structures are under–developed operated in silos and the mandate left to the Directorate of Revenue administration and Business Development. The need to create and implement dependable policy and structures in revenue administration, is manifested in efforts made by the national government through Kenya Revenue Board (KRA), the office of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to achieve this goal in Central Government, Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and County Governments and Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies. In order for such revenue administration to be reliable and effectual for decision-making and accounting purposes, multi-disciplinary approach is essential. For this reason, the County Government needs to adopt and actualize accounting standards, legislation, technology requirements, besides guidance of national government policy towards revenue administration. The insufficiency of the County Government’s current revenue administration, in particular towards the collection and sound accounting mechanisms, call for urgent need for action. It is prudent to implement a workable policy that provides an efficiency, effectiveness, supports accountability and promotes adoption of best taxation principles for Nyandarua County.
