What eTIMS asks of an ERP
Under KRA's Electronic Tax Invoice Management System, invoice data is transmitted to KRA, and the invoice carries KRA-issued signature and QR information. Since 2024 KRA has also tied deductible expenses to eTIMS-generated invoices, so what suppliers send you matters as well as what you send customers. Confirm the current rules and phases with KRA.
The design question that matters
Most failed eTIMS integrations bolt a signing tool beside the ledger and reconcile later. The ledger then contains invoices KRA has never seen, and KRA has invoices the ledger never booked. The better design puts submission inside posting: a document that the authority has not accepted does not become a ledger fact.
How DigiTaxFlow 365 works
DigiTaxFlow 365 submits the invoice from inside posting on Business Central or Finance & Operations. The chart of accounts, the sales order and the till stay shared; the country is a connector.
What we do not claim
We do not publish a KRA certification or approval status on this page. Control-unit options, certification requirements and phase dates are set by KRA and change; we confirm them with you and with KRA documentation before go-live, and record the evidence in the project file.
A practical rollout
Classify items first. Map units. Decide the control-unit approach with your IT team. Test in KRA's sandbox with real document types, including credit notes and offline receipts. Train the people who post invoices and the people who answer a rejected one. Then switch on, site by site.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need DigiTaxFlow 365 if our current system already signs invoices?
Not necessarily. The question is whether the ledger and KRA agree without a spreadsheet. If your reconciliation depends on exports, the design is worth reviewing.
Does this work for retail and POS?
Yes. Receipts are submitted per transaction, queued offline and sent on reconnect.
What about invoices we receive from suppliers?
Supplier invoices that support expense claims should be eTIMS-compliant. We design purchase-invoice validation and exception handling into the accounts-payable process.
Is DigiTaxFlow 365 KRA-certified?
We do not make a certification claim on this site. Ask us for the current position and the evidence, and confirm with KRA.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Rates, limits and filing rules change; confirm the current position with the Kenya Revenue Authority, the relevant statutory body or your tax adviser before relying on it.
