Kenya’s e-invoicing and reporting mandates for the hospitality sector. Learn about current and upcoming regulations, along with partner solutions for streamlined compliance.
This is not a legally approved document. We are outlining what our customers do in Kenya regarding statutory requirements. They may utilize Cloudbeds alongside other third-party services to comply with all requisites.
E-Invoicing
Current Mandates
- E-invoicing is mandatory for VAT-registered taxpayers who must adopt a compliant Electronic Tax Register (ETR) to transmit tax invoice data.
- The e-invoicing system in Kenya is called Tax Invoice Management System (TIMS) and requires VAT-registered companies to report each transaction in real-time to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
- A valid electronic tax invoice must include key features such as a buyer PIN, control unit serial and invoice numbers, and a QR code.
- As of June 1, 2023, all VAT-registered taxpayers should only accept electronic tax invoices from registered taxpayers that are compliant with the 2020 VAT (Electronic Tax Invoice) Regulations.
