Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) would like to remind the public and all VAT registered taxpayers that the deadline of the transition from the old Electronic Tax Registers (ETRs) to the upgraded ETRs is 31^st July 2022. The move is aimed at enhancing VAT compliance, minimizing fiscal fraud and increasing tax revenue in accordance with the VAT (Electronic Tax Invoice) Regulations, 2020.

KRA appreciates taxpayers who have complied this far and those who are making efforts to comply.

For those who are in the process of acquiring upgraded ETRs, the proof of compliance shall include evidence that they have placed an order and made payment to the approved ETR Supplier.  The list of ETR Suppliers is available on the KRA website. The Supplier shall issue the trader with a letter providing details on the order placed and payment thereof.  Traders are required to email a copy of the letter to timsupport@kra.go.ke.  Similarly, Suppliers are to ensure that traders are issued with formal letters providing details on order placed and payment thereof.

In addition, all VAT registered taxpayers who have already acquired the upgraded ETR devices must finalise the process of activation and integration by 31^st August 2022.
