The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has issued a new directive requiring cargo consolidators to provide individual importers’ details when declaring consolidated goods entering the country.
The authority said the measure will facilitate the issuance of electronic tax invoices through the Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) to individual traders and importers whose goods are transported as consolidated cargo.
The initiative will enable eligible VAT-registered importers to claim input VAT on imported goods, subject to applicable tax laws and regulations.
