VAT Return 16 % (iTax)

Kenya VAT is charged at 16 % on standard-rated supplies. Returns are filed monthly through KRA iTax, with the eTIMS transaction log providing the underlying audit trail. Zero-rating applies to exported goods and specified services.

01
Obstacle

Different VAT rates (16 %, 0 %, exempt) are mixed across invoices, causing the iTax return to not reconcile with eTIMS data.

Solution

Rate applied per line item automatically, with a clean input/output split that mirrors the iTax return structure.

02
Obstacle

Monthly input and output VAT have to be collated by hand from multiple systems before each return.

Solution

Automatic VAT ledger with a one-click export ready for iTax submission.
