eTIMS invoicing for Kenyan businesses
Create eTIMS Invoices Online in Kenya
Risiti lets you prepare a sales invoice on your phone, submit it through its KRA OSCU workflow, see whether KRA accepted it, and download or share the final receipt. A pending or failed document is kept visibly separate from an accepted eTIMS invoice.
What you need before creating the invoice
- A Risiti business profile whose KRA connection has completed successfully.
- The buyer's name and KRA PIN when the buyer needs the sale associated with its tax records.
- Each good or service, quantity, price and the correct tax treatment.
- The payment method and a final review of taxable amount, tax and total.
The Risiti invoice workflow
- 1
Prepare the sale
Add the buyer, select saved items or services, confirm quantity and price, and choose the payment method. Tax is calculated from the tax type stored on each item.
- 2
Submit and watch the KRA status
Risiti creates the record and sends it through the configured OSCU connection. Temporary failures can enter the controlled retry workflow; validation failures stay visible for correction.
- 3
Download and share only after acceptance
When KRA returns the required receipt metadata, Risiti can render the tax-invoice PDF and public receipt link. Use the share action for WhatsApp or the device share sheet.
What each invoice status means
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | The sale has not been submitted. | Finish and review it. |
| Pending / retrying | Acceptance has not been confirmed. | Wait or address the displayed issue; do not share it as final. |
| Submitted | KRA accepted the sale and returned the receipt data. | Check the PDF, then share it. |
| Failed | Submission needs attention or a retry. | Read the error and confirm the original was not accepted before resubmitting. |
For failure handling, use the detailed eTIMS invoice-status guide.

Risiti versus KRA's free channels
KRA provides free eTIMS solutions, including eCitizen web, USSD, mobile and online-portal options for applicable users. Risiti is a paid operational layer for businesses that want reusable records, clear submission states, receipt PDFs, sharing, retries and browser-based work on a phone. Paying Risiti does not change the underlying tax obligation or make Risiti an official KRA portal.

Problems users commonly encounter
- Buyer PIN rejected
- Compare every character with the buyer's PIN certificate or the official KRA PIN checker. Do not substitute an ID number.
- Wrong tax type
- Pause before submission and confirm the treatment that applies to the seller and supply. Exempt, zero-rated and non-VAT are not interchangeable.
- KRA unavailable
- Keep one invoice record, allow the retry workflow to continue, and avoid creating duplicates while acceptance is uncertain.
- PDF has no KRA receipt details
- Confirm the invoice is submitted and has the required returned receipt data. A polished local PDF is not proof of KRA acceptance.
