Does Veira handle my VAT return?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

Veira files your eTIMS invoices as you sell and keeps the sales records a VAT return is built from, which makes filing far easier. Filing the actual VAT return on iTax is a separate KRA step. Confirm with your accountant or KRA how your return is submitted, since Veira supports the records rather than replacing the filing.

More detail

It helps to separate two things: issuing compliant invoices through eTIMS, which Veira does on each sale, and submitting the periodic VAT return on iTax, which is a KRA process.

Because Veira keeps the underlying sales data clean and filed to eTIMS, preparing the return is much simpler, but the submission itself follows KRA rules and timelines. Confirm your obligation with a professional.
