Customs and Border Control collected Ksh.85.9 billion, exceeding the target of Ksh.83.0 billion. This collection marked the highest monthly customs revenue in KRA’s history. 

According to KRA, the customs performance was supported by growth in oil-related taxes, which rose by about 24 per cent. Non-oil taxes, on the other han,d recorded a 103.4 per cent performance rate and grew by 23.4 per cent.

Domestic taxes also surpassed targets, with collections of Ksh.221.3 billion against a target of Ksh.201.6 billion. This was a 31 per cent increase from Ksh.168 billion collected in December of 2024.
