KRA — Kenya e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Kenya

No Kenya data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Kenya support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Kenya's e-invoicing is administered by the KRA, the Kenya Revenue Authority, through the iTax / e-Tax System, also referred to as eTIMS.

What supporting Kenya would involve

System	KRA iTax / e-Tax System (eTIMS)
Authority	KRA — Kenya Revenue Authority
Format	A national format (eTIMS). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today.
Transmission	Submission through the KRA iTax / e-Tax System. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.

Inherited, unverified

Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.

• Progressive rollout: large taxpayers mandated from 2020, extended to all businesses from 2024.
• Described as a clearance model, with pre-registration and real-time validation required.

Which catalogues a contributor would add

Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Kenya.

• country-policy/data/ke.json — which document actions Kenya allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
• country-identifiers/data/ke.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
• tax/tax-systems/data/ke.json and vat-rates/data/ke.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
• correction-routes/data/ke.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
• b2g-routing/data/ke.json — the channel and format a Kenyan public buyer requires.
• transports/channel-policy/data/ke.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Kenya, and from what date.
• archive/retention/data/ke.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.

Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.

Data alone will not finish the job here: the KRA iTax / e-Tax System is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and the eTIMS format has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want Kenya supported?

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Kenya, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Kenya".
