The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is seeking repeal of a law that spared small businesses and farmers from the electronic tax invoice management system (eTIMS) for undermining efforts to widen the tax base and catch cheats.

The law that took effect on December 27 last year freed firms with annual sales of below Sh5 million from issuing electronic invoices, removing a compliance hurdle that had made it difficult for micro traders to supply big companies with goods and services.
