The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has said taxpayers’ data in its electronic tax invoice management system (eTims) is safe, downplaying concerns that some sensitive personal information on the platform may be compromised.

“The details captured in the invoices are transaction details that are normally captured in any invoice/receipt issued to a customer and need not include confidential information of taxpayers,” the taxman said.
