Know what KRA says you owe — and whether it's right.
Nakkei puts your outstanding KRA tax demands side by side with what your own books, returns and payments say. Every gap gets a reason and a next step, so you pay what's right, dispute what's wrong, and fix your own records before they turn into penalties.

Before you file
Catch the mismatches that trigger assessments
Since 1 January 2026, iTax checks returns against eTIMS, withholding and customs data, and may refuse a return that doesn't tie. Where figures differ, KRA uses the higher income and the lower expenses. Nakkei runs the same checks on your data first.
- 01Sales sent to eTIMS but missing or understated in the return
- 02Expenses claimed with no matching eTIMS purchase invoice or buyer PIN
- 03Exempt sales misclassified as zero-rated, or the other way round
- 04Duplicate eTIMS invoices from tills or system retries
- 05Foreign-currency invoices converted to KES incorrectly
- 06Credit notes that can't be traced to an original invoice
- 07PAYE and withholding amounts that don't tie to payroll and certificates
- 08Import data that doesn't match input VAT or expense claims
Demands vs recordsComing soon
Every outstanding demand is matched against your filed returns, payments and eTIMS invoices, period by period and tax by tax.
Penalty exposure
See what each unresolved gap could cost using KRA's published penalty and interest rates, and which amounts the amnesty can waive.
Dispute-ready evidence
Every figure traces back to its source invoice, payment or pay run, with the tax rate it was charged at saved on the line, kept for the five years KRA requires.
Deadline calendar
VAT, PAYE and withholding tax due dates, plus what's prepared and what's still open, for every month.
Rates that change on time
Rates are dated and cite the Finance Act or Legal Notice behind them, so a change, such as the 8% fuel VAT ending on 14 October 2026, applies from the right day.
eTIMS built in
Invoices and credit notes are signed and sent to KRA eTIMS as you sell, so your sales data and KRA's agree from the start.
- 01Connect your booksNakkei, your QuickBooks Desktop file and eTIMS give the full picture of what you've sold, bought, paid and filed.
- 02Bring in KRA's viewComing soonUpload your iTax ledger statement or the demand notices you've received. Nakkei lines each one up against your records.
- 03Act with confidencePay what's right, dispute what isn't with the evidence attached, or amend a return, then record the iTax acknowledgement.
Nakkei prepares and checks your VAT, PAYE and withholding returns. Filing itself happens on KRA's iTax portal, since KRA offers no other channel, and Nakkei records the acknowledgement for your audit trail.
FAQ
Questions businesses ask us
Does Nakkei integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes. Nakkei has a two-way integration with QuickBooks Desktop — Pro, Premier, Enterprise, Accountant and the UK editions. Invoices, bills, payments, stock, payroll journals and more sync between the two automatically.
Can I access QuickBooks Desktop online with Nakkei?
Yes. Your team works in Nakkei from any browser, anywhere, and everything syncs into the QuickBooks Desktop company file on your office PC or server. There is no remote desktop and no move to QuickBooks Online.
Is Nakkei ready for KRA eTIMS?
Yes. Nakkei signs and sends invoices and credit notes to KRA eTIMS as you sell, computes VAT and withholding tax with effective-dated rates, and checks your returns for the mismatches that trigger assessments before you file on iTax.
Does Nakkei include HR and payroll?
Yes. HR is built in: staff records and contracts, attendance with biometric clock-in devices, shifts and rosters, leave, appraisals, hiring and employee self-service. Payroll handles PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, the housing levy and NITA, produces payslips, P9 and P10 figures, and bank and statutory payment files — and posts the pay run to QuickBooks as a journal.
Can Nakkei manage stock across several stores?
Yes. Nakkei tracks stock in every store or warehouse, moves it between stores with transfers that the receiving store keeper signs for, follows lots and expiry dates, warns you at reorder level, and keeps QuickBooks stock quantities in step.
Does Nakkei have task management?
Yes. Anyone can give a task to a colleague with a due date, make it repeat on a schedule, and follow progress updates. When it is done the person who gave it confirms it, and overdue and due-today tasks surface in each person’s notifications.
