- Starting May 2026, KRA will integrate export data from the Integrated Customs Management System (iCMS) with VAT returns in the iTax platform.
- Export values will be automatically prefilled in VAT returns once export documents are approved by Customs.
- The integration aims to improve accuracy, reduce manual errors, and enhance compliance for exporters.
- Exporters must provide their PIN and valid TIMS or eTIMS zero-rated invoice numbers when lodging export documents.
- The change applies to goods and taxable services exported to foreign countries, Single Customs Territory, EPZs, and SEZs.
