SAP Business One (B1) Software | ERP System KRA ETIMS Integration

ETIMS (Electronic Tax Invoice Management Solution) introduced by KRA (Kenya Revenue Authority), is a framework that makes use of EFDs and ERP systems to authorise the generation of e-invoices and e-receipts. 

ACEteK is a KRA accredited software Integrator for SAP Business One and ETIMS. We have studied the ETIMS platform and built expertise in integrating, SAP Business One ERP system to ETIMS as per the requirements detailed on the KRA ETIMS Portal

KRA has resolved that all VAT registered companies issue e-invoices or e-receipts for every business supply made (whether exempt or taxable) using the KRA ETIMS. And that every VAT credit, refund claim an Income tax deduction or expenditure shall not be granted unless such credit, refund claim, expenditure, or deduction is supported by an e-invoice or e-receipt provided the supplier of the goods or services is required to issue an e-receipt or e-invoice.

ETIMS was introduced to promote transparency of transactions, prevent fraudulent purchases where no actual goods movement occurred, and reduce the occurrence of false refund claims. ETIMS made it easy to match input tax and output tax, which was a major challenge earlier in Kenya. It also encouraged businesses to issue invoices and receipts while preventing the loss of records due to a completely digital platform.
