Kenya’s business ecosystem is evolving – rapidly and at pace, and at the forefront of this change is a digital tool that’s taking an industry by storm and assisting businesses in their operational process, e-TIMS. If your business hasn’t jumped onto it yet, here’s what your business is missing out on. 🌍 What is eTIMS Anyway? The Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (e-TIMS) is KRA’s new invoicing platform that connects businesses directly into the tax system in real time www.kra.go.ke. It ensures every invoice is documented and authenticated digitally, whilst assisting in enforcing VAT compliance from the source. And YES, it’s mandatory now for all VAT Registered businesses in 2025. 📈 How Can e-TIMS Really Help Your Business? While many see it as simply another compliance requirement, smart businesses are seeing an opportunity: e-TIMS is a hidden advantage.

• Enhanced record-keeping: No more lost receipts or questionable spreadsheets. e-TIMS offers an electronic paper trail of every transaction, helping to mitigate any possible audit risks.
• Faster tax filing: With invoices pre-validated through KRA, filing VAT returns is faster, easier and less painful.
• Business credibility: Clients and partners will trust your business, if tax-compliant. e-TIMS will improve your professional image, especially in the case of tenders or contracts.
• Minimising penalties: No “surprises” at tax time. e-TIMS helps to prevent costly errors, delays, or penalties for non-compliance.
• Access to financing: Banks and lenders are more likely to trust your books when you show clear, digitised records of all transactions and reporting. This history will give you access to credit and investment opportunities.
