Getting started with invoicing
Add a client, list your products and services, and issue your first invoice — in that order.
VAT in Kenya — rates, registration, returns
The 16% standard rate, what's zero-rated, what's exempt, when you must register, and how the monthly VAT3 return ties to your invoices.
Quotation vs proforma vs invoice — when to use which
Five sales documents Vendly produces and the order they typically flow in.
Withholding tax — when the buyer holds tax back
Certain payments to suppliers are subject to WHT. The buyer withholds a slice of your invoice and remits it to KRA on your behalf.
Payment receipts and reconciliation
Record what the client paid, against which invoice, and let Vendly clear AR for you.
Credit notes — corrections, refunds and returns
Reverse all or part of an invoice you've already issued. Reduces output VAT and clears the buyer's balance.
eTIMS — Kenya's mandatory e-invoicing
KRA's Electronic Tax Invoice Management System. Every taxable supply must pass through it from 1 January 2024.
