Traders will be required to show proof of order and payment for the new Internet-enabled electronic tax registers (ETRs) ahead of the Sunday deadline, as the taxman seeks a way around the supply hitches.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) reportedly arrived at the decision after the licensed dealers of the new tax registers ran out of the machines. The KRA held a virtual crisis meeting with all the 16 approved suppliers on Wednesday morning where the deal was discussed.
