eTIMS KRA – In an effort to improve accountability and efficiency in tax compliance, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) recently introduced a new electronic tax invoice management system (eTIMS). By lowering errors and increasing openness, the new system is anticipated to change Kenya’s tax collection procedure.
Your Apps Ltd is here to assist you with this transition so that you can achieve optimum compliance. 42.7% of VAT-registered businesses have not yet used TIMS. As we finally assist them in transitioning to the new eTIMS, all of our clients who are currently using TIMS will continue to use their present ETR equipment.
eTIMS is a web-based tool that allows taxpayers to electronically generate and manage invoices. The system is made to make it simple, quick, and effective for taxpayers to meet their tax obligations. Compared to the prior manual system, which was prone to mistakes and fraudulent activity, it is a huge improvement.
Overall, the eTIMS represents a substantial advancement in Kenya’s efforts to improve tax compliance. The solution is anticipated to increase accountability and transparency while reducing errors and increasing tax-collecting efficiency. KRA is advancing toward a more effective and efficient revenue-collecting procedure by adopting technology, which will ultimately benefit the government and taxpayers.
The new eTIMS offers quick access on both PCs and mobile devices,they are user-friendly and adaptive design, and cross-platform functionality. Bulk invoicing issues, convoluted business procedures, and real-time invoice transmission were addressed in the system’s architecture.
The ability for taxpayers to create and confirm electronic tax invoices is one of the main benefits of eTIMS. The system integrates with KRA’s iTax platform, enabling online tax return filing for taxpayers. As a result, taxpayers are no longer need to physically attend KRA offices in order to generate invoices and file returns.

Everything You Need Know
About Our eTIMS Solutions
Questions about our eTIMS products, solutions, or how to get started? We’ve answered the most common ones below.
What is eTIMS?
eTIMS (electronic Tax Invoice Management System) is a software solution that provides taxpayers with options for a simple, convenient and flexible approach to electronic invoicing.
Taxpayers can access eTIMS on various computing devices, including computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
Who Should Use eTIMS?
All persons engaged in business are required to on-board eTIMS and issue electronic tax invoices. However, where the supply is received from a small business enterprise (whose annual turnover does not exceed five million shillings), the purchaser shall issue a tax invoice on their behalf.
Persons in business include:
- Companies, partnerships, sole proprietorships, associations, trusts etc.
- Persons with income tax obligations including:– Monthly Rental Income (MRI) Tax– Turnover Over Tax (TOT)– Annual Income Tax – for Corporations, Partnerships and Individuals, both resident and non-residents with a permanent establishment.
- Persons conducting business in various sectors, including the informal sector.
- Persons in business whether or not registered for VAT. Persons in business but not required to register for VAT e.g. persons supplying VAT exempt goods and services such as hospitals supplying medical services, schools supplying education services, tours and travel agents, NGO’s in business etc are also required to on-board on eTIMS.
Why is it not just for VAT registered taxpayers?
The law requires that for any person to claim their business expense, the expense must be supported by an electronic tax invoice as at 1st January 2024. Therefore, ALL persons engaged in business are required to issue electronic tax invoices.
Where the seller is a small business or a small-scale farmer, (whose annual turnover does not exceed five million shillings), the purchaser shall issue a tax invoice on behalf of the seller for purposes of claiming that purchase as a business expense. KRA has availed the Buyer Initiated Invoicing Solution to facilitate this process. This solution is accessible on the eCitizen platform
Why eTIMS?
- It aids in reducing compliance costs as the solutions are provided free of charge;
- eTIMS offers flexibility in the solutions available and is accessible on various computing devices;
- The stock management module assists taxpayers maintain their own inventory;
- eTIMS allows taxpayers to a maintain record of invoices issued on the taxpayer portal;
- eTIMS facilitates simplified return filing for taxpayers.
What Business Expenses are excluded from eTIMS?
The following valid business costs have been excluded from the requirement of being supported by an eTIMS invoice:
- emoluments (salaries & wages)
- imports
- air passenger ticketing
- investment allowances
- interest
- fees charged by financial institutions
- expenses subject to withholding tax that is a final tax
- services provided by a non-resident person without a permanent establishment in Kenya
What are the Solutions available on eTIMS?
In order to improve the user experience, eTIMS has been updated to enable taxpayers to register on more than one eTIMS solution in order to simultaneously generate invoices at their convenience. This has eliminated the need for KRA approval to facilitate change of solution or devices. However, for change of device under the same solution (eTIMS Client) one will require to be facilitated by KRA.
Taxpayers can access all invoices generated from the different eTIMS solutions, such as eTIMS Client, VSCU, OSCU, and eCitizen portal, through the online taxpayer portal (etims.kra.go.ke). Each solution will have its own unique invoice number sequence. However, credit notes can only be generated from the solution where the original invoice was raised.
The solutions available include:
- Online Portal – a web-based platform for invoicing accessible via etims.kra.go.ke
- eTIMS Client – a downloadable software that supports multiple branches and cashier tills/pay points. The software can be configured for both Windows and android devices, i.e. Windows based computers & laptops, android smart phones, tablets & Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) devices
- eTIMS Lite (Web) – a web-based solution accessible through eCitizen.
- eTIMS Lite (USSD) – accessed through the short code *222#. This solution is for individuals and sole proprietors.
- eTIMS Lite (Mobile app) – accessible on Play Store and Apple Store.
- eTIMS System to System Integration – This solution is tailored for businesses that have an invoicing system and would like to integrate with eTIMS i.e. Virtual Sales Control Unit (VSCU) and Online Sales Control Unit (OSCU).
- Reverse Invoicing and Buyer Initiated Solution – both solutions enable the buyer to generate a tax invoice on behalf of a seller.
Each solution will have its own unique invoice number sequence. However, credit notes can only be generated from the solution where the original invoice was raised.
eTIMS System to System Integration
This solution is tailored for businesses that have an invoicing system and would like to integrate with eTIMS. System-to-system integration between KRA and the taxpayer’s invoicing systems has been provisioned via an Application Programming Interface (API). This can be achieved in two ways;
- Virtual Sales Control Unit (VSCU) – this solution allows for a system to system integration between the taxpayer’s invoicing/ERP system and eTIMS. It is suitable for taxpayers undertaking bulk invoicing and is not always online.
- Online Sales Control Unit (OSCU) – this solution also allows for a system to system integration between the taxpayer’s invoicing/ERP system and eTIMS. It is suitable for taxpayers whose invoicing is always online.
