E-invoicing

E-invoicing is mandatory for VAT-registered taxpayers who must adopt a compliant Electronic Tax Register (ETR) to transmit tax invoice data.

  • The e-invoicing system in Kenya is called Tax Invoice Management System (TIMS) and requires VAT-registered companies to report each transaction in real-time to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
  • A valid electronic tax invoice must include key features such as a buyer PIN, control unit serial and invoice numbers, and a QR code.
  • As of June 1, 2023, all VAT-registered taxpayers should only accept electronic tax invoices from registered taxpayers that are compliant with the 2020 VAT (Electronic Tax Invoice) regulations.
