Electronic tax invoices
eTIMS (electronic Tax Invoice Management System) is KRA’s software for simple, convenient electronic invoicing on computers, tablets, and phones.
KRA eTIMS
We offer direct KRA eTIMS integrations via the VSCU API, so your billing or ERP software can issue electronic tax invoices without a separate till.
Kenyan businesses that already run billing or ERP software and need a direct VSCU API link to KRA eTIMS.
How a VSCU integration works
- 1
You keep your software
Billing, ERP, or point of sale stays in place. We do not ask you to retype sales into a second tool.
- 2
We connect via VSCU
A direct VSCU API link sends invoice data to KRA eTIMS from your system.
- 3
You issue the tax invoice
Each sale can produce an electronic tax invoice that meets KRA’s requirements.
What eTIMS is
Who must use it
All persons in business must onboard eTIMS and issue electronic tax invoices — including those not registered for VAT.
Why it matters
From 1 January 2024, a business expense must be backed by an electronic tax invoice before it can be claimed.
Our VSCU integration
We connect your existing software to KRA eTIMS through the VSCU API, so invoices are filed from the system your team already uses.
