Fuel stations told to plug into eTIMS by June 30 deadline

Kenya Revenue Authority told petroleum retailers they must install electronic tax systems at all outlets before June 30, 2025. The agency sent out notices reminding fuel station operators about the eTIMS Fuel Station System requirement. Station owners have two options for meeting this deadline. They can handle the technical setup themselves if they have the skills. They can also hire approved companies that specialize in fuel system integration.

The revenue authority published a current list of certified integrators on its official website. Retailers can find these approved vendors under the Publications section. KRA promised to help all taxpayers meet the new electronic invoicing rules. The agency wants to make sure businesses can comply without major problems. Officials said they will provide ongoing support during the transition period.

The electronic system tracks fuel sales and tax payments as they happen. Software connects directly to cash registers and fuel pumps at stations. Every gallon sold and every dollar collected gets recorded automatically. The system prevents manual errors and ensures accurate tax reporting. Real-time monitoring helps the government track petroleum industry transactions.

KRA launched this fuel station program during 2024 to improve tax collection. The system brings better oversight to an industry that previously used scattered record-keeping methods. Digitax CEO Caine Wanjau explained the technology aims to create transparency rather than punishment. Parliament created the Kenya Revenue Authority in 1995 to collect taxes for the national government. The agency handles all major tax collection duties across the country.
