Kenya Revenue Authority Onboards Over 500 Fuel Stations onto eTIMS Fuel Module

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has onboarded more than 500 fuel stations onto the Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) fuel module following its rollout in December 2025. The onboarded stations represent approximately 16 percent of fuel 
stations nationwide.
The module integrates fuel stations into the eTIMS platform and ensures that all stations 
issue electronic receipts to customers as proof of purchase. Its implementation underscores KRA’s commitment to building a modern, digital, and efficient tax administration aimed at strengthening compliance within Kenya’s fuel sector. The system 
enhances transaction visibility, promotes accurate declarations, and enables seamless 
transmission of sales data for taxation and compliance purposes.

Speaking during the launch, Deputy Commissioner, Large Taxpayers’ Office, Mr. Ezekiel Obura, noted that revenue collection within the sector is expected to double following the full rollout of the module. He urged the public to embrace the culture of requesting receipts after every fuel purchase. He also encouraged fuel stations that are yet to onboard to do so promptly to avoid disputes with KRA and possible enforcement measures.

Prior to the rollout, the Authority piloted the module in selected fuel stations between 
September and December 2024 to test technical integration, gather operational feedback, 
and strengthen compliance frameworks ahead of full-scale implementation. Nationwide 
onboarding commenced in January 2025. Although the initial onboarding deadline was 30 June 2025, stakeholders requested additional time to comply, prompting the Authority to extend the deadline to December 2025.
Also speaking at the event, Chief Manager, eTIMS Office, Ms. Hakamba Wangwae, 
emphasized that the module forms part of KRA’s broader strategy to simplify tax processes 
through digital platforms.

“The eTIMS Fuel Stations Module is a game changer for tax compliance and transparency. 
It simplifies the tax process for taxpayers and enhances oversight for the Authority, supporting Kenya’s broader goal of a fully digital, efficient, and accountable tax system,” said Ms. Wangwae.

Under the new system, eTIMS receipts are issued immediately at the point of sale upon 
request and can be generated for both individual motorists and businesses. The electronic 
invoice is transmitted in real time to KRA’s system, ensuring every fuel purchase is properly recorded and can be used as proof of expenditure in accounting records, tax filings, and claims for business deductions.
