Solomon, The ITMS steering team is working with the relevant government agencies to have all the data synchronized. The team realizes that this is a key milestone in making the system relevant to end users.

Just out of curiosity, is KRA, TESPOK and the Registrar of Companies working towards synchronizing the online details of a registered entity? And, do you have the contacts of the companies registrar or one has to make a physical visit there? Solomon On 06/04/2009, Fiona Asonga <tespok@tespok.co.ke> wrote:
Hallo Stephen
My responses in blue below:
TESPOK is one of the partners working with KRA over the last 2 years to get
this system in place. However, there are a number of teething problems
especially in synchronizing the data from Registrars of Companies and
Persons. Since the departments were running on manual record keeping it was
realised that during the data transfer from hard copy to electronic some
data was either omitted or left out. KRA with the related agencies is in the
process of cleaning this data.
I would also like to encourage all individuals to visit the KRA website
www.kra.go.ke <http://www.kra.go.ke/> and go to online service to register
as an individual or corporate. If individual information is inaccurate
kindly contact 020- 4999999 the ITMS call center for assistance.
The ITMS (Integrated Tax Management System) should be accessible on any
browse I have managed to open it on Mozilla fire fox, IE and safari without
any problems.
You input shall go a long way in helping improve the system. We the system
gives an answer that isn't clear kindly call 020- 4999999 and you shall be
assisted.
Regards,
Fiona Asonga
Secretariat Manager
TESPOK/KIXP

I most definately have,, since the day they announced in Kiss 100 that we
can now fill our tax return forms online, i was happy,, because of alot of
travel in and out of kenya, i cud finally fill in the tax returns from
wherever for our 2 cents company until we finally do something worth with it
in future.
But ooh no, the website claims that the certificate of incorporation, the
company pin, and the company itself does not exist [ its 1 year old} - and
tells me expressly to go and register the company...
What do they mean by register a company that already exists ??
It means the details of the company you have that has been registered for
the last one year are missing from the database of companies from the
register of companies. Since you already have a certificate of incorporation
the registrar of companies is best placed to verify you company details an
update their data.
Do we need to register the companies again [just by name at kra] so they can
put in the database???
You don't need to register the company again by any name. It must be part of
the missing data from registrar of companies. The system is integrating data
from various sources but KRA has no authority to change the data from the
sources especially when it is data that they have not had before. If you
have made at least one tax return whether VAT or PAYE then you are already
in KRA's system so that is easier to verify. When it is a new entry and the
data is missing verification can only come from the register of companies.
Then the registrar of companies shall transfer new data on new registrations
as well as updates on pre-existing files to the KRA system for public access
and use by us (the end-user/tax payer).
I dont know if a kra guy is in this forum,, but the online thing does not
really work or their database does not have all companies in their
database..
Please check.
