eTIMS resources for Kenyan businesses.

eTIMS (electronic Tax Invoice Management System) is the KRA platform that records your sales invoices electronically in real time. Every compliant invoice you issue is transmitted to KRA and carries a QR code and control number so it can be verified.

Effectively every business that issues invoices and wants its expenses to be tax-deductible. KRA only allows expenses supported by a valid eTIMS invoice, so both VAT and non-VAT registered businesses are onboarding, including sole proprietors and landlords.

KRA offers eTIMS Lite (web and USSD) and the taxpayer portal for low-volume taxpayers. For shops and restaurants with real volume, an integrated POS like Veira issues a compliant invoice automatically at the till, which is faster and removes manual entry.

Each guide walks through one task end to end, with real KES examples, the common mistakes that trigger penalties, and how to handle it inside a POS. Start with the complete eTIMS guide, then read the one that matches your situation.
