Airtel subscribers can now pay their taxes through their mobile money platform following a partnership with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), which will also see the telco grow its revenues.

Airtel is charging its subscribers between Sh10 to Sh270 depending on the amounts being paid through the platform.

The partnership also allows Airtel subscribers to inquire for KRA services, generate a KRA payment reference number (PRN or an e-slip/invoice number) and make quick simple payments through Airtel Money by simply dialling the short code *572#.
