Taxpayers Are Required to Upload Non-eTIMS Invoices Before Filing Returns, KRA Clarifies

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) clarified a common mistake causing rejection of some 2025 income tax returns. Taxpayers must first upload manual or non-eTIMS invoices through the Income Tax Return Adjustments section before claiming such expenses. KRA explained this additional compliance step after a taxpayer complained about a rejected return. The system uses eTIMS data to verify income and expenses.
