More than half of businesses on the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)’s electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) are not transacting on the platform, underlining the government’s headache in its efforts to expand the tax base.
Latest KRA data show that of the 236,000 businesses that have been onboarded on the eTIMS, only 49 percent are reporting transactions with other businesses, posing a challenge for the taxman even as 679,000 enterprises it had targeted stay off the radar.
