The eTIMS Lite platform, a user-friendly solution designed for non-VAT registered taxpayers, facilitates the electronic generation and transmission of invoices to KRA. Accessible through various channels, including the eCitizen platforms and a USSD option by dialing *222#, as well as a web-based solution at ecitizen.kra.go.ke, the initiative aims to simplify compliance processes, especially for small-scale entrepreneurs.

Through initiatives like eTIMS Lite and our ongoing engagement with stakeholders, we aim to facilitate a smooth transition to electronic invoicing while providing tailored support to meet the diverse needs of businesses in Kenya.” The KRA eTIMS Lite The introduction of eTIMS Lite aligns with KRA’s dedication to embracing digital solutions for improved governance and accountability.
