E-VAT Returns

In Kenya, although e-filing is not mandatory, business entities who do not want to file their returns online, have to take a printout of monthly return - Form 3 along with the Annexure - Form 3A and submit to the department on or before 20th of the subsequent month. The VAT payment also needs to be done on or before 20th of subsequent month.

Following is the list of Annexures that needs to be submitted along with Form 3 and 3A for e-filing:

  • Basic_Info

  • General_Rated_Sales

  • Other_Rated_Sales

  • Zero_Rated_Sales

  • Exempted_Sales

  • General_Rated_Purchases

  • Other_Rated_Purchases

  • Zero_Rated_Purchases

  • Exempted_Purchases

  • VAT_Due

An option is provided to export data from Tally.ERP 9 Β to the e-return template - VAT 3_Return_Online.xls by:

  • Selecting the required annexure(s) one after the other or

  • Selecting the option - All. This option is RECOMMENDED to ensure data of period chosen in Export Report screen is captured in appropriate fields of each worksheet. This eliminates the possibility of old data being retained in few worksheets when new data gets updated only in the worksheets (annexures) chosen while export.

Even if one annexure is selected for exporting data, the data will be captured in worksheets - A_Basic_Info and N_VAT_Due.
