What is eTIMS?
The Kenya Revenue Authority describes eTIMS as an electronic tax invoicing solution. Businesses should consult KRA for the latest onboarding rules and applicable requirements, rather than relying on a software vendor’s marketing copy.
Where should eTIMS sit in a sales process?
A POS integration normally concerns the transaction or invoice lifecycle, not a separate tax registration for every stock item. Mapping matters: tax treatment, invoice creation, corrections, returns, failure handling and reconciliation should be specified before integration.
Questions to ask a POS vendor
Ask which eTIMS integration route is supported, which parts are live rather than planned, how failed submissions are handled, what records are retained and how the business reconciles invoices. Confirm the implementation and testing responsibilities.
Official guidance
Use the Kenya Revenue Authority’s current eTIMS information and system-to-system integration resources at https://www.kra.go.ke/online-services/etims. EUJIM POS integration availability and scope must be confirmed during a demonstration.
This guide explains how to evaluate a POS solution. It does not establish that every feature discussed is currently included in EUJIM POS. Ask for a product demonstration and a written specification.
