KRA eTIMS and ETR

How much does it cost to become eTIMS compliant?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

Compliance itself does not have to be expensive, since KRA offers options to issue eTIMS invoices, and a system like Veira includes eTIMS filing with a plan from KES 2,999 a month and a terminal included on annual billing. The real cost question is whether you want bare compliance or a system that also runs your shop. Bare invoicing is cheap; full point of sale costs a monthly subscription.

More detail

Separate two things: the cost of meeting the invoicing rule, which can be low, and the cost of a system that files eTIMS while also handling stock, M-Pesa and reports.

With Veira the hardware is free with a plan and eTIMS is built in, so you are paying a monthly subscription for the whole shop system rather than buying a register and bolting compliance on.

Is there a cheap way to just comply?
Yes. KRA options let you issue eTIMS invoices to meet the rule. They cover invoicing but not stock, payments or reporting.
What does a full system cost?
Veira starts at KES 2,999 a month, terminal included on annual billing and eTIMS built in, so compliance comes inside a system that also runs the shop.

Veira gives Kenyan shops one calm app for selling, M-Pesa, KRA eTIMS and stock, with a terminal included on annual billing. Book a demo and see it set up for your trade.
