Tax cheats: Nowhere to hide as KRA rolls out 24-hour spying device

Armed with the new electronic invoicing and reporting tool, KRA reckons it will be able to collect information without waiting for taxpayers to file, even at the point of a commercial transaction to make its own assessment of the tax due.

"The new system will improve compliance with VAT law through transparency and visibility of transactions subject to VAT," KRA Deputy Commissioner in charge of the Medium Taxpayers Office George Obel told Standard Business in an interview.
