DigiTax Rolls Out Reverse Invoicing Solution.
Enabling eTIMS Compliance for Enterprises Across Kenya’s Informal Supply Chains.
We are excited to roll out Reverse Invoicing solution that enables businesses to generate eTIMS-compliant invoices on behalf of the small and informal suppliers directly within the Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) framework.
Under KRA’s eTIMS mandate, all business expenses must be supported by valid electronic invoices to qualify as tax-deductible and to support VAT input claims. However, many enterprises, particularly in agriculture, manufacturing, insurance, and SACCOs, regularly transact with thousands of small and informal suppliers whose annual turnover falls below KES 5 million, making eTIMS self-registration a significant challenge for them. This gap exposes enterprises to real compliance risk: undocumented transactions jeopardize expense deductibility, invite audit exposure, and undermine confidence in financial reporting.
DigiTax’s Reverse Invoicing solution integrates directly with enterprise ERP and billing systems, automating the creation, consent, and submission of reverse invoices to KRA eTIMS. Key capabilities include:
• System-to-system integration with ERPs, SAP, and billing platforms
• Automated supplier consent workflows as required by KRA
• Centralized dashboards for tracking invoices, approvals, and eTIMS submissions
• Real-time reconciliation and reporting for finance and compliance teams
The solution is specifically designed for sectors where enterprise buyers routinely transact with large numbers of small, informal, or rural suppliers. In agriculture, it enables organizations procuring from smallholder farmers across the country; in manufacturing, it supports firms managing extensive raw material and service supplier networks; in insurance, it assists companies managing diverse vendor and service provider payments; and across the SACCO sector, it empowers cooperatives engaging informal service providers and contractors.
Reverse invoicing applies where;
Supplier’s annual turnover is below KES 5 million.
Supplier is not exempt from eTIMS.
Expense must be supported by an eTIMS invoice.
An invoice is required for tax deduction purposes.
We built this for you, and we are excited to see the compliance confidence it brings to your business.
