The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has put all fuel stations on notice after issuing fresh directives targeting retailers that have failed to comply with its electronic tax invoicing requirements.
In a notice dated Tuesday November 25, 2025, the Authority stressed that all petroleum product retailers are required to integrate their operations with the eTIMS Fuel Station System across their retail outlets, a specialized platform designed to capture real-time invoicing for every fuel transaction.
It integrates with KRA via a forecourt controller and existing point-of-sale systems, ensuring accurate and efficient tax reporting.
“Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) reminds all petroleum product retailers of their obligation to implement the eTIMS Fuel Station System across their retail outlets,” said the Authority.
According to the KRA, the initial compliance deadline was June 30, 2025.
However, a significant number of retailers are yet to integrate the system, prompting the Authority to issue a final reminder.
KRA has stated its commitment to supporting and facilitating all fuel retailers in meeting compliance requirements.
It also expressed appreciation to those outlets that have already adhered to the electronic tax invoicing mandate.
However, KRA made it clear that fuel retailers who fail to meet the new compliance deadline of December 31, 2025, will face enforcement measures as dictated by law.
