The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) introduced the VAA system in 2019 to detect discrepancies between invoices in VAT returns. The tool aims to reduce claims of input VAT on fraudulent invoices, but has significantly increased the administrative burden for corporations since it was introduced.
This issue has affected large businesses, which have a significant number of different suppliers, because the VAA tool matches invoices and places the responsibility for providing the transactional evidence on the buyer. Companies are being forced to redirect their resources to resolving VAT discrepancies created by the VAA.
