eRITS (Electronic Rental Income Tax System) is KRA's dedicated system for landlords to register and manage rental properties, declare rental income, and pay rental tax electronically. Access it at erits.kra.go.ke or through eCitizen.
What eRITS is for
eRITS focuses on rental income specifically. MRI is the tax regime and rate; eRITS is the property, declaration and payment system. eTIMS has a different job: electronic tax invoicing.
What it means for landlords
The practical upshot is the same discipline as MRI: keep an accurate, per-tenant record of rent received so declarations are quick and correct. For current requirements and step-by-step detail, read the eRITS for landlords guide.
