The Rise of eTIMS in Kenya

The Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) is a KRA initiative to ensure real-time transmission of invoice data. For businesses, this means every purchase must be supported by an eTIMS-compliant invoice to claim VAT input tax.

Why You Should Check Every Invoice

  • **VAT Deductions**: You cannot claim VAT input tax if the invoice is not eTIMS-compliant.
  • **Audit Safety**: Inconsistent invoicing is a major red flag during KRA audits.
  • **Fraud Prevention**: Ensure that the 'real' KRA registration of your supplier matches the invoice details.
