What's live today

The platform is coming.
Two pieces are already here.

While we build the full VAT3 filing platform, the tools and the assistant our team uses every month are free for you to use too.

Ushuru AI

An assistant trained on KRA's full documentation — VAT Act, Finance Acts, iTax guides, ETR specs.

Live now
You If a supplier didn't give me an ETR receipt, can I still claim input VAT on the invoice?
AI No. Under Section 17(3) of the VAT Act, input VAT is only deductible against a tax invoice from a registered supplier issued through an ETR/TIMS-compliant device. Without a valid ETR receipt the input VAT cannot be claimed — even if the underlying invoice is genuine.VAT Act §17(3)eTIMS Guide p.12

Patterns

Common patterns and use
cases

Multi-business filing

Group owners and accountants — switch between businesses, file each one in minutes, every figure traced.

Humans-in-the-loop

The AI flags low-confidence extractions and waits for your review. No auto-filing, no surprises.

Compensating Patterns

Filed wrong? File an amendment in seconds with a one-click diff against the original return.

Long-period filings

Annual returns, backlog clean-ups, multi-quarter reconciliation — without losing context or audit trail.

Order & ETR Reconciliation

One bad ETR slip shouldn't break your VAT3. Match supplier invoices to ETR serials automatically.

Durable Audit Ledgers

Every line in your return links back to its source receipt with timestamp. Defend any figure, months later.

Filing CI/CD

For accountants. Templates, bulk review, scheduled exports — file ten clients in the time you used to spend on one.

Customer Acquisition

Stop dreading the 19th. Onboard new businesses, route invoices, engage clients without dropped steps.

WHT & PAYE

Coming next. Same engine handles withholding tax and payroll. Roadmap is public — see what's shipping when.
