eTIMS (electronic Tax Invoice Management System) is KRA’s platform for generating and transmitting electronic tax invoices in real time. Businesses — including landlords who issue invoices for rent — use it to create KRA-compliant electronic invoices and receipts.
What eTIMS does
eTIMS captures each invoice you issue and transmits the details to KRA, producing a compliant electronic tax invoice. It replaces older ETR hardware requirements with software options that work on a phone, computer, or through an integration.
eTIMS for landlords
Landlords and agencies that are required to issue tax invoices for rent can generate them through eTIMS. A property platform can produce the invoice data automatically from rent collected, so records stay consistent with what you file — see the eTIMS for landlords guide.
eTIMS vs eRITS and MRI
eTIMS is for invoices, eRITS is for rental-property tax administration, and MRI is the tax regime. A landlord may encounter all three, but they are not interchangeable.
| Term | Main purpose |
|---|---|
| eTIMS | Issue and transmit electronic tax invoices. |
