Risiti — eTIMS Invoicing for Kenyan Businesses
Issue KRA eTIMS-compliant invoices in 3 taps. The
simplest
electronic tax invoice management system built for
Kenyan SMEs.
What is Risiti?
Risiti is an eTIMS invoicing app that helps Kenyan
businesses create
KRA-compliant electronic tax invoices instantly. With
auto QR code generation, supplier compliance alerts, and tax-ready
reports — staying compliant with KRA eTIMS has never
been easier.
eTIMS Compliance Made Simple
Since January 2026, the
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) validates all tax
returns against eTIMS data. Every business in Kenya —
VAT and non-VAT — must issue
electronic tax invoices through the
eTIMS system. Without compliant invoices, your
business expenses are disallowed. See the official
KRA eTIMS portal
for government guidance.
Risiti integrates directly with
KRA's OSCU (Online Sales Control Unit) and
VSCU (Virtual Sales Control Unit) APIs, transmitting
your invoices to KRA in real time with auto-generated QR codes for
instant verification.

Why Risiti over KRA's free eTIMS app?
KRA's eTIMS Lite app is functional but limited — it
crashes during peak hours, has no dashboard, no reports, and no
supplier compliance tracking. Risiti gives you a professional
eTIMS invoicing experience with auto QR codes,
one-click tax reports, WhatsApp invoice sharing, supplier risk alerts,
and M-Pesa billing.
eTIMS Compliance Deadline
The KRA eTIMS compliance deadline is
March 31, 2026. From January 2026, KRA validates
every tax return against eTIMS invoice data. Expenses without valid
electronic tax invoices are disallowed — meaning you
pay more tax. Penalties include fines up to
KES 1 million and imprisonment up to 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions about eTIMS
What is eTIMS?
eTIMS (electronic Tax Invoice Management System) is
KRA's mandatory digital invoicing platform for all businesses in
Kenya. It facilitates the creation, validation, and transmission of
electronic tax invoices to the Kenya Revenue Authority in real time.
Who needs eTIMS?
All persons carrying on business in Kenya — whether
VAT-registered or non-VAT — must use eTIMS. This
includes sole proprietors, freelancers, partnerships, limited
companies, and suppliers to corporates.
What is OSCU and VSCU?
OSCU (Online Sales Control Unit) enables
system-to-system integration with KRA's eTIMS for businesses that
operate online. VSCU (Virtual Sales Control Unit) is
for businesses with high-volume or bulk invoicing needs. Risiti
supports both OSCU and VSCU integration.
How do I create an eTIMS invoice?
With Risiti, creating an eTIMS invoice takes 3 taps:
select or enter buyer details, add line items with amounts, and
submit. Risiti automatically calculates VAT, generates a
KRA QR code, and transmits the invoice to KRA's eTIMS
system in real time.
What is a KRA electronic tax invoice?
A KRA electronic tax invoice is a digital invoice
generated through an approved eTIMS solution and transmitted to KRA.
It must include the seller's KRA PIN, buyer's PIN (if claiming input
tax), a unique invoice number, QR code, itemized amounts, and tax
calculations.
