How EstateDesk builds eTIMS/eRITS-shaped receipts on verified payments, what credentials you need, and how live submission works for Kenyan property managers.
When a payment is verified, EstateDesk snapshots seller KRA PIN, optional buyer PIN, control unit serial, itemised allocations, and a tax footer on the PDF receipt.
If KRA_ETIMS client credentials and CU serial are configured, the platform can submit an OSCU-style sales payload and store the response on the document metadata.
Complete KRA taxpayer profiles for properties, set environment variables for client ID/secret, environment, base URL, and control unit serial, then verify a test payment in sandbox.
Register the webhook URL /api/webhooks/kra-etims when KRA provides callback status. Until credentials exist, receipts remain layout-ready without failing settlement.
Keep property taxpayer profiles accurate so seller PIN is never blank on receipts. Review the Taxes desk eTIMS readiness panel after deploy.
Residential rent is typically zero-rated in the payload; always confirm tax treatment with your tax advisor for commercial or service charges.
EstateDesk provides integration and payload readiness. Device/OSCU certification is completed with KRA using your taxpayer registration and control unit.
