KRA eTIMS — non-compliance is costly
eTIMS Penalty Calculator — What Will Non-Compliance Cost You?
KRA imposes stiff monthly penalties for eTIMS non-compliance — from KES 50,000 for basic non-compliance to KES 500,000 for system integration failure. Add late VAT filing penalties and interest, and the numbers add up fast.
eTIMS Penalty Calculator
KES 50,000 per month — failure to issue eTIMS invoices, maintain the device, or upload sales data
Enter the VAT amount you failed to declare. Leave blank to calculate eTIMS penalties only.
This is the total eTIMS non-compliance penalty alone. Enter VAT owed to include late-filing and interest.
Why This Matters
- eTIMS non-compliance penalties are separate from late VAT filing penalties — KRA can charge both
- Penalties accrue monthly and do not cap out; 12 months of basic non-compliance = KES 600,000
- Integration failure penalties (KES 500,000/mo) apply if your ERP/POS is not linked to eTIMS
- KRA is conducting physical compliance visits — non-compliant businesses face immediate sanctions
