KRA eTIMS Compliance

KRA eTIMS compliant invoicing. Stay audit-ready in 2026.

From 2026, KRA's rule is final: no eTIMS, no expense deduction. Every invoice that does not pass through eTIMS means your client cannot claim it as a business expense. Elona CRM handles this automatically.

No setup fee · M-Pesa ready · KRA eTIMS compliant · From Ksh 350/month

Watch: What eTIMS means for your business and how to stay compliant

The problem

Sound familiar?

Non-compliant invoices cost your clients money

If your invoice is not eTIMS compliant, your client cannot deduct it as a business expense. They will find a supplier who is compliant.

Manual eTIMS compliance is complicated

The KRA TIMS system requires JSON format, control unit validation, QR codes, and real-time transmission. Not something you manage manually.

Fines for non-compliance are severe

Non-compliant businesses face fines of up to Ksh 1,000,000 or imprisonment. This is not optional.

Most invoicing tools are not eTIMS ready

WhatsApp invoices, Word documents, and most foreign software are not wired into the KRA eTIMS system.

The solution

Every Elona CRM invoice is eTIMS compliant by default

When you send an invoice through Elona CRM, it is automatically formatted to KRA eTIMS requirements: JSON structure, QR code, Control Unit Invoice Number (CUIN), and real-time transmission to KRA. You do nothing extra. Compliance is built in.

1

Create your invoice normally

You work exactly as you always do. Select client, add items, set the amount. No extra steps.

2

Elona CRM formats it to eTIMS spec

The system generates the required JSON structure, adds your KRA PIN, and prepares the transmission payload.

3

Invoice transmitted to KRA in real time

Your invoice is sent to the KRA TIMS system and receives a Control Unit Invoice Number (CUIN) before it reaches your client.

4

QR code added and invoice delivered

Your client receives a fully compliant invoice with the KRA QR code. They can claim the expense. You are protected.

KRA deadline: are you ready?

Built for Kenya. Not adapted for Kenya.

KRA eTIMS is not a Kenyan adaptation of a global feature. It is a Kenya-only tax system. No tool built outside Kenya will ever prioritise building this. Elona CRM built it because we are Kenyan and we know what Kenyan businesses need to stay protected.

M-Pesa is not an afterthought

Accept and reconcile M-Pesa payments natively. Your clients pay the way Kenya pays.

KRA eTIMS compliant

Your invoices meet Kenya Revenue Authority requirements automatically. Stay audit-ready from 2026.

Priced in KES, not dollars

No dollar conversion surprises. From Ksh 350 per month. What you see is what you pay.
