A Garage Owner's Guide to KRA eTIMS Compliance

•6 min read

The Kenya Revenue Authority mandate for eTIMS means workshop invoicing is no longer a back-office task. Compliance now depends on speed, accuracy, and complete audit trails.

Why Spreadsheet + Portal Uploads Fail

End-of-day manual uploads lead to missing receipts, posting delays, and preventable penalties. They also make branch-level reconciliation harder for growing workshop groups.

What an Audit-Ready Workflow Looks Like

  • Invoice is generated automatically when a job is completed and paid.
  • Data is transmitted to KRA immediately through an API-connected flow.
  • The customer gets a valid receipt with the required eTIMS details.

If your process still depends on manual uploads, your compliance risk increases as volume grows.
