• KRA emphasizes the importance of this verification process, stating, “We remind all taxpayers of their obligation to issue electronic tax invoices and transmit the invoice details to KRA as prescribed by law.”

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is calling on all Value Added Tax (VAT)-registered taxpayers to ensure the accuracy of their pre-filled VAT returns for November 2024 before the submission deadline of December 20, 2024.

In a notice shared on X (formerly Twitter) on December 3, 2024, KRA announced that it will streamline the VAT return filing process by pre-filling returns with tax information it has on record, beginning with the November tax period.

KRA emphasizes the importance of this verification process, stating, “We remind all taxpayers of their obligation to issue electronic tax invoices and transmit the invoice details to KRA as prescribed by law.”

The authority also cautioned that any claims for input VAT that are not validated through the Tax Management System (TMS) or the Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS), or those that do not align with existing customs import declarations, will not be eligible for deduction in the return.

In support of these efforts, KRA reiterated its commitment to educating taxpayers about the simplified VAT return filing process. The authority aims to facilitate compliance with the electronic tax invoicing requirements, ensuring that all taxpayers are well-informed and equipped to meet their obligations.
