Businesses supplying goods and services to the government will now be required to generate valid eTIMS invoices before submitting payment claims through the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) following a new integration by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Under the system, invoice details recorded in eTIMS must match exactly with those submitted to government entities through IFMIS.
KRA said the integration will enable automatic validation of invoices, improve transparency and strengthen accountability in government transactions.
The change adds a new compliance layer for suppliers, with inaccurate or unmatched invoices likely to face payment processing delays.
