More detail
There is a common worry that using a POS will force you onto VAT or expose you to tax you were avoiding. Using compliant billing software does not change your registration status, it just keeps proper records.
What it does help with is meeting eTIMS rules, which keep widening. If you are unsure whether you must file, that is a question for KRA or your tax advisor, not something to guess at.

Does using Veira put me on VAT?
No. Using compliant billing software does not change your VAT registration status. It keeps proper records of the sales you already make.
Do non-VAT shops need eTIMS?
Often yes, because eTIMS requirements have widened beyond VAT-registered businesses. Confirm your specific obligation with KRA.
