The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has issued a public notice announcing to 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 measure is being introduced 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 20 December 2024.
In addition, all taxpayers are also 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.
