How Do I Issue KRA eTIMS-Compliant Receipts From My POS?
Quick answer

KRA's eTIMS lets businesses issue tax-compliant invoices and receipts, and guidance says a POS that integrates with it makes this practical. Your obligations depend on your business type and registration, so confirm with KRA or your accountant. In practice you need software that generates the right documents, a reliable receipt printer and staff trained to issue them for every sale.
