This  is my first time filing returns and also using kra portal but i  took it as personal challenge .Iwant to perfect my skills in tax filing since the task are simple only that some kenyans donot own computers .Cybers take this as busines oppurtunity actually what motivated me  is i was regretted by a NAIROBI Based cyber because i dont posseses necessary skillS/knowledge to navigate various portals kra and online management systems timis ifimis agpo ghris  and nairobi city portal.The owner of cyber also challenged me whenever i spend my time online i should atleast make money (legally).

So i put my ad on facebook and got some clients who wanted me to file their return .They wanted i file for them nil returns and also ITR (income tax returns employment only).But i got this lady who told me to file for her and she work as agent in insurance company.I got confused,but i took it as personal challenge to learn how to file for her .
