Client feedback

Real results from real penalty waiver clients.

I had accumulated late filing penalties over three months — nearly KES 30,000. Smart VAT Kenya handled the waiver application and KRA waived everything except a small admin fee. Worth every shilling.

Sarah W.

Retail Business, Nairobi

I registered for VAT late and got hit with the KES 100,000 non-registration penalty. I thought I was going to have to pay it all. Their team drafted a solid waiver letter and KRA reduced it significantly.

James M.

Wholesale Distributor, Mombasa

The WhatsApp updates made the whole process stress-free. I didn't have to chase anyone — they kept me informed at every stage. My penalty was fully waived in 2 weeks.

FAQ

VAT registration questions answered.

What documents do I need to register for VAT in Kenya?

You need your KRA PIN certificate, a copy of your national ID or passport, and your business name and physical address. If you are registering as a company, we also need the company registration certificate and director details. Send these over WhatsApp and we handle the rest.

How long does KRA VAT registration take?

VAT registration in Kenya typically takes 1–3 working days once all required documents are submitted. KRA's processing time varies, but we prepare and submit everything correctly the first time to avoid delays.

Do I need to log into iTax myself?

No. You never need to log into the KRA iTax portal. We handle everything on your behalf using your authorised credentials. All you need is WhatsApp.

Is eTIMS registration included in the KES 5,000 fee?

Yes. eTIMS onboarding guidance is included at no extra cost. We help you understand what eTIMS requires for your business type so you stay compliant from day one.

What happens after I get my VAT PIN?

Once you receive your VAT PIN, you are registered with KRA as a VAT-registered taxpayer. You must begin charging VAT on your invoices and file monthly VAT returns by the 20th of each month. We offer monthly VAT filing at KES 3,500 per month if you would like us to handle that too.

Can I register for VAT if I am a small business or sole proprietor?

Yes. Sole proprietors, partnerships, and companies can all register for VAT. You are required to register if your annual taxable turnover exceeds KES 5 million, but voluntary registration is also possible if you meet certain conditions.
