What is eTIMS?

Understanding KRA eTIMS & Type C ETR

The Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) is Kenya Revenue Authority's digital platform that requires all VAT-registered businesses to generate and transmit tax invoices electronically in real time.

The Type C ETR (Electronic Tax Register) is a fiscal device that connects to your business systems and signs every invoice before transmitting it to KRA's central server. Without this, your invoices are not legally valid for VAT purposes.

Miano Software Solutions handles the complete eTIMS setup — from ETR device procurement, API configuration, system integration, testing and ongoing compliance support so your business stays fully KRA-compliant.

Who is required to integrate eTIMS?
All VAT-registered businesses in Kenya are required to use eTIMS to generate and transmit tax invoices to KRA electronically. This includes retailers, manufacturers, service providers, restaurants, hotels and any business issuing VAT receipts.
What is the Type C ETR device?
The Type C ETR (Electronic Tax Register) is a fiscal device approved by KRA that digitally signs each invoice you generate and transmits it to KRA's servers in real time. It connects to your existing POS, ERP or billing system via API.

For standard integrations (Tally, POS), the process takes 2-3 weeks. For complex custom systems it can take 3-5 weeks. We handle everything from ETR device setup to final compliance testing.
What happens if my business is not eTIMS compliant?
Non-compliant businesses face KRA penalties, potential business closure orders and rejection of VAT input claims. It's critical to be compliant as soon as possible to avoid regulatory risk.

Yes. We are a licensed Tally partner and have completed multiple Tally Prime + eTIMS integrations. Invoices generated in Tally are automatically signed and submitted to KRA without any manual steps.
