NRA Unveils Automated Tax Clearance Certificate Application and Issuance Procedures
The National Revenue Authority (NRA) wishes to inform the public and all taxpayers of the introduction of a new automated process for the application and issuance of Tax Clearance Certificates (TCCs).
As part of the NRA’s continued efforts to modernize and enhance service delivery, the automated Tax Clearance Certificate system became effective on 1st October 2025. This new process will be piloted until 31st December 2025 for taxpayers registered under the Large Tax Office (LTO) and the Extractive Industry Revenue Unit (EIRU) of the Domestic Tax Department.
Under this system, taxpayers in the aforementioned offices are no longer required to submit application letters to the Commissioner General. Instead, all applications must now be submitted online via the taxpayer’s ITAS Portal.
Where a taxpayer is fully compliant, the system will automatically issue a Tax Clearance Certificate.
A taxpayer is considered compliant if:
• All outstanding tax returns have been filed;
• All tax liabilities have been paid; or
• Acceptable arrangements have been made with the Commissioner General to settle outstanding obligations.
Application Procedure
1. Log in to your ITAS Portal using your username and password.
2. Select “My Tax.”
3. Scroll down and click on “Certificate Request.”
4. From the dropdown menu, select “Tax Clearance Certificate Application.”
5. Choose the reason for the application and click “Continue.”
6. Complete the form and click “Submit.”
This automation marks a significant milestone in the NRA’s digital transformation journey and demonstrates our commitment to efficient, transparent, and taxpayer-friendly services.
