controlroom@kra.go.ke? Interesting. A room in the 13th floor of Times Towers. The windows are tinted. Its rather cold coz of the 4 or 5 LG ACs. There is a low hum of the about 10 or so PCs hidden under the long, wide semi-circle desk. 10 or so 19" monitors are evenly spaced out on that desk. Small green and orange lights can be clearly seen on the corner, the 5 server cabinet dulling the hum of the HP blade servers. The control room. Accessible only using a special elevator on the 3rd floor, Banking wing. With its own separate power grid, power backup generator, CCTV security system...

Nick, the lead technician on duty is staring at one of the monitors, seemingly lost in thought...

@Mburu,
I take it that you mean yours is a registered co. by the registrar of
companies and that you now need to register for VAT. Unfortunately at
the moment you can only register for VAT obligation online when you
are applying to register your company for PIN. After the release of
module 2, you will not even need a VAT number, the PIN will be enough,
all you will need is to amend your details online and say you would
like to be VAT registered.
While we wait for that time to come, please email
controlroom@kra.go.ke and inform them that your company would like VAT
obligation as well. They will do it in an instant and get back to you
- Good Luck

Nick
