Update on Simplification of VAT Return Filing for VAT Registered Taxpayers.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) notifies all VAT registered Taxpayers that the VAT return will be pre-filled with tax information available to KRA starting from the November 2024 tax period. This is to simplify the VAT return filing process.


All VAT registered Taxpayers are therefore advised to confirm the accuracy of their pre-filled November 2024 VAT returns prior to submission on or before 20th December 2024.


In addition, all Taxpayers are hereby reminded of their obligation to issue electronic tax invoices and transmit the invoice details to KRA as prescribed in law. Any input VAT claim that is not validated through TIMS/eTIMS or against existing customs import declarations for import VAT claims will not be allowed for deduction in the return.


KRA will continue to sensitize Taxpayers on the simplified VAT Return filing process. Further, KRA will continue to support and facilitate all Taxpayers to comply with the electronic tax invoicing requirements. KRA appreciates all compliant Taxpayers.
