eRITS (electronic Rental Income Tax System) is a KRA system that helps Kenyan landlords declare rental income and manage their rental-income tax electronically. It is designed to streamline how residential rental income is reported and how Monthly Rental Income (MRI) tax is computed and paid.
What eRITS is for
eRITS focuses on rental income specifically — giving landlords a dedicated route to declare rent and handle the associated tax, rather than treating it as a general income-tax task. It works alongside iTax and the wider KRA compliance stack.
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.
