Wanjiku, Joseph, Kamau… and the One Tool That Saved Their Businesses from Compliance Chaos.
It’s a Monday morning in Nairobi. Across the city, business owners of all sizes like Wanjiku, Joseph and Kamau are waking up to the same problem; hundreds, sometimes thousands, of sales, items, and services rendered are yet to be uploaded on eTIMS for the generation of compliant invoices.
The risk? Delayed payments. Penalties. And missing proof for business expenses since only eTIMS-generated invoices are recognized.
Since the rollout of eTIMS, most businesses have relied on manual entry. But here’s the truth:
It’s painfully slow -keying in thousands of sales takes hours that could be spent running the business.
Errors are common- one wrong entry can throw off your entire compliance record.
The backlog keeps growing because business never stops running.
And the risk of penalties looms -eTIMS compliance requires timely uploads, and delays cost both money and credibility.
Now, picture a different reality.
Instead of typing invoices one by one, DigiTax lets you upload them all in one batch whether it’s a week, two weeks, or even a month’s worth of invoices. With a simple CSV or XML file with the data;
Wanjiku clears her month’s items and sales backlog in minutes.
Joseph uploads data of services rendered in the past two weeks and gets paid.
Kamau, a hospital finance officer processes thousands of invoices in a single step, no stress, no panic.
That’s the difference between surviving eTIMS compliance and mastering it.
Businesses that fall behind face:
Penalties and fines for late or missed uploads.
Reputational damage with suppliers, clients, and regulators.
Operational strain, as staff spend valuable hours catching up instead of driving growth.
Payment delays among others.
With DigiTax Bulk Upload feature, compliance stops being a burden. You don’t just get by; you stay ahead.
Every Kenyan business has backlogs of sales, items, and services that must be justified through electronic invoices transmitted to the Kenya Revenue Authority.
The question is: how do you handle them?
Manual entry keeps you trapped in a cycle of catch-up, stress, and risk.

If you’ve fallen behind on eTIMS compliance, this is the fastest and most efficient way to catch up.
