KRA Tax Reports for Landlords - MRI & Rental Income Compliance
Generate KRA-compliant rental income reports automatically. Monthly Rental Income (MRI) tax calculations, eRITS-ready reports, and expense deductions tracked.
January - KRA Deadline Approaches
The deadline for filing Monthly Rental Income (MRI) tax is coming up. You need to report all rental income, calculate allowable deductions, and file via iTax or eRITS. But your records are scattered across notebooks, M-Pesa messages, and bank statements.
The Manual Calculation Struggle
You hire an accountant or spend hours doing it yourself. Add up all income from M-Pesa, bank transfers, and cash. Find all expense receipts. Calculate the 30% statutory deduction or actual expenses — whichever is higher.
Common mistakes:
- • Forgetting to include some M-Pesa payments
- • Missing deductible expenses (repairs, agent fees)
- • Using wrong tax rates
- • Late filing penalties
Cost of getting it wrong: KRA penalties + interest + accountant fees
Plus the stress of wondering if KRA will come knocking

Tax Filing in 30 Minutes Instead of 3 Days
“Last year, I paid my accountant KES 35,000 to compile rental income records and file MRI tax. This year, I generated the KodiSawa report, shared it with him, and he filed in 30 minutes. He only charged me KES 5,000 for the filing itself.”
— Samuel Kipchoge, Property Manager with 78 units
