Risiti — eTIMS Invoicing for Kenyan Businesses
Issue KRA eTIMS-compliant invoices in 3 taps. The simplest electronic tax invoice management system built for Kenyan SMEs.
What is Risiti?
Risiti is an eTIMS invoicing app that helps Kenyan businesses create KRA-compliant electronic tax invoices instantly. With auto QR code generation, supplier compliance alerts, and tax-ready reports — staying compliant with KRA eTIMS has never been easier.
eTIMS Compliance Made Simple
Since January 2026, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) validates all tax returns against eTIMS data. Every business in Kenya — VAT and non-VAT — must issue electronic tax invoices through the eTIMS system. Without compliant invoices, your business expenses are disallowed. See the official KRA eTIMS portal for government guidance.
Risiti integrates directly with KRA's OSCU (Online Sales Control Unit) and VSCU (Virtual Sales Control Unit) APIs, transmitting your invoices to KRA in real time with auto-generated QR codes for instant verification.

Why Risiti over KRA's free eTIMS app?
KRA's eTIMS Lite app is functional but limited — it crashes during peak hours, has no dashboard, no reports, and no supplier compliance tracking. Risiti gives you a professional eTIMS invoicing experience with auto QR codes, one-click tax reports, WhatsApp invoice sharing, supplier risk alerts, and M-Pesa billing.
eTIMS Compliance Deadline
The KRA eTIMS compliance deadline is March 31, 2026. From January 2026, KRA validates every tax return against eTIMS invoice data. Expenses without valid electronic tax invoices are disallowed — meaning you pay more tax. Penalties include fines up to KES 1 million and imprisonment up to 3 years.
