- From May 2026, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will include import and export data from the Customs Management System (iCMS) in pre-filled VAT returns.
- Validated export values will be automatically pre-filled in VAT returns once export documents are issued by Customs.
- Starting December 2024, KRA will begin pre-filled VAT returns for November 2024 transactions using data from the e-invoicing TIMS platform.
- Taxpayers must issue electronic tax invoices and transmit details to KRA; unvalidated input VAT claims will not be allowed.
- November returns will still be self-assessed.
