"The KRA portal is complicated." The OSCU (Online Sales Control Unit) and VSCU (Virtual Sales Control Unit) integration requires technical setup most small business owners cannot do alone

"My current POS doesn't support eTIMS." Many POS systems used by Kenyan SMBs — including basic receipt printers and legacy software — are not eTIMS-certified. You cannot simply plug in a KRA device and expect it to work.

"I don't want to get fined." KRA penalties for non-compliance can include fines, business suspension, and loss of tax compliance certificates. A compliance certificate is required for government tenders, bank loans, and supplier contracts.
