Monthly KRA updates, tax tips, and compliance reminders.
KRA requires businesses to issue electronic tax invoices through the eTIMS system. Non-compliance attracts penalties and blocks your customers' VAT claims. We make the transition seamless - registration, integration, training, and ongoing support.
The electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS)is the Kenya Revenue Authority's platform for generating and transmitting tax invoices in real time. Every qualifying sale must produce a KRA-validated electronic invoice - replacing the older ETR hardware regime with software-based invoicing across desktop, mobile, and system-to-system integrations.
For your business, eTIMS is both a compliance obligation and an opportunity: clean, validated invoice data simplifies VAT filing, reduces audit friction, and gives you a reliable sales record.
Onboarding deadline has passed
All VAT-registered businesses were required to migrate to eTIMS. If you have not onboarded, act now - every non-compliant invoice compounds your exposure. Contact us for an expedited migration.
Input VAT at risk
Purchases supported by non-eTIMS invoices cannot be claimed as input VAT, and the related expenses risk disallowance for income tax - a direct hit to your margins.
Monthly rhythm still applies
eTIMS does not replace your VAT return - it feeds it. VAT returns remain due by the 20th of the following month; PAYE and levies by the 9th. Our Tax Health Check keeps the whole calendar covered.
