Preparing for KRA eTIMS: A Checklist for Kenyan Retailers
eTIMS requirements depend on applicable KRA requirements and business circumstances. Retailers should confirm their obligations with KRA or a qualified tax adviser rather than assume that VAT registration alone determines them.
Accurate invoice details and tax configuration require review. Software integration does not guarantee compliance or protection from penalties.
Tilloza supports invoice preparation and eTIMS submission when correctly configured. Review returned submission status and contact support if an invoice status is unclear.
Use these preparation steps alongside current official KRA guidance:
Confirm the applicable invoicing requirements for your business with KRA or a qualified tax adviser.
Discuss the supported integration setup with the Tilloza team and review invoice details before use.
Have your tax adviser review product classifications and applicable rates. Broad categories such as pharmacy or food do not establish the correct tax treatment.
Plan for reliable internet access at your sales counters. Tilloza requires an active connection for selling. Consider a backup internet connection and restore connectivity before resuming checkout after an outage.
