Monthly VAT filing, eTIMS reconciliation, and KRA audit support, keeping your business compliant every month.
APSIS Business Consulting Ltd
Every month, by the 20th
VAT compliance in Kenya demands precision every month: filing by the 20th, reconciling eTIMS invoices, recovering input tax correctly, and staying audit-ready. APSIS manages the full cycle so you never miss a deadline or leave recoverable VAT on the table.
We prepare and file your VAT returns on iTax by the 20th of every month, accurately and on time. Nil returns included. Our process includes pre-filing review of output tax, input tax claims and eTIMS reconciliation to prevent KRA queries.
FilingYour eTIMS-generated invoices must match your VAT return. We reconcile cumulative eTIMS data against declared output tax monthly, eliminating the number one KRA audit trigger. Discrepancies are identified and resolved before filing.
eTIMSWe validate every input tax claim against supplier eTIMS invoices, import documentation and KRA requirements. Proper classification of exempt, zero-rated and standard-rated supplies ensures maximum legitimate recovery without audit exposure.
Input taxIf KRA queries your VAT position, we act as your authorised representative: preparing responses, organizing documentation and negotiating directly with KRA officers. Our proactive compliance reduces audit likelihood; our representation protects you when it happens.

Every shilling of valid input tax recovered is working capital. Missed claims directly reduce your liquidity.
