It serves as proof that an individual or business has filed all applicable tax returns and settled any outstanding tax liabilities, penalties, or interest up to the date of issuance. The certificate is generated through the iTax system and is usually valid for a period of twelve months from the date it is issued.

Downloading a TCC is particularly important because it is one of the most critical requirements for job applications in Kenya, especially for government positions, parastatals, NGOs, and regulated private sector roles. Employers use the Tax Compliance Certificate to verify that a job applicant is compliant with tax laws and financially responsible. In many cases, an application may be considered incomplete or automatically disqualified if a valid TCC is not provided, making it essential to download and keep an up-to-date certificate when applying for employment.
