🎄 Merry Christmas from Zuki Consult CPAs 🎄

Wishing our clients, partners, team, and friends a joyful Christmas filled with peace, gratitude, and renewal.
Thank you for trusting us through the year—may this season refresh your spirit and set the tone for a prosperous, well-governed year ahead.

Digital Transformation Starts with Governance
Many organizations often assume technology will fix operational problems.

Technology alone it cannot fix. Automation only amplifies what already exists —discipline or chaos.

Before investing in new tools, roles must be clear, approvals defined, and workflows documented.

At Zuki Consult, we help organizations translate governance into working systems — and shows how to fix what technology alone cannot.
Digital success is ultimately a governance outcome.

Executive Thought-Leadership-
Resilience is not accidental. It is designed.

The Zuki Insights – November 2025 | Resilience & Growth Edition examines how organisations across Africa are shifting from reactive survival to system-driven resilience.
This edition highlights:
• Governance as an operational necessity
• Digitisation as the backbone of compliance and credibility
• Financial visibility as a leadership advantage
• ESG as a gateway to funding and partnerships

As organisations prepare for 2026, the message is clear: predictability builds trust and sustainable growth.

Accounting is not just about compliance.
It is about clarity.

When numbers are not timely, accurate, and reliable:
• strategy loses direction
• decisions rely on instinct
• growth turns into guesswork

This week, a simple question for leaders:
Are your numbers shaping your strategy — or merely satisfying statutory deadlines?

At Zuki Consult Centre, we don’t just offer services —

Our core services include:
🔹 Audit & Assurance
🔹 Accounting & Tax
🔹 Business Strategy

The most expensive mistake in business is not fraud… it is a lack of systems.

Business grows where structure flows.

📢 KRA Compliance Update: New Income Validation & Automated Payment Plans

KRA has announced two major compliance reforms that will significantly affect how individuals and businesses file their taxes moving forward. These reforms are designed to strengthen transparency, accuracy, and fairness in the tax system.

1️⃣ Income & Expense Validation – Effective January 2026

Starting 1st January 2026, KRA will begin validating all income and expenses declared in tax returns for the 2025 accounting period. Validation will be automated through iTax and cross-checked against verified data sources such as:

✔ TIMS/eTIMS electronic tax invoices
✔ Withholding tax data
✔ Import data from Customs
✔ Other system-captured records

This move ensures:

Only valid eTIMS-compliant invoices will be accepted

Declared income and expenses truly match business activity

Reduced manual verification and stronger self-assessment integrity

👉 Businesses must urgently ensure all their 2025 invoices are eTIMS-supported to avoid disallowances.

2️⃣ Automated Payment Plan (APP) – Now Available

KRA has also introduced the Automated Payment Plan (APP), a digital instalment payment system for taxpayers unable to settle outstanding liabilities at once. The APP covers principal tax, penalties, and interest, and offers structured repayment of up to 6 months.

To qualify, you must:

Have a valid KRA PIN

Be fully compliant on iTax

Have a confirmed tax liability not under objection

Demonstrate genuine inability to clear the debt at once

Submit a proposal via iTax for review

Failure to follow the agreed schedule may lead to termination of the plan and enforcement action.

Why This Matters

These two reforms mark a new era of digital tax governance, where accuracy, automation, and accountability take centre stage.
Businesses must prepare early to avoid penalties or rejected expenses.

Zuki Consult CPAs is ready to support you with:
• eTIMS onboarding
• Tax health checks
• Validation readiness

Eastern Africa Rwanda: RRA Compliance Alert: Declare Your 2025 Non-EBM Expenses in eTax

As we approach the close of the 2025 financial year, the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) is urging all taxpayers to capture and submit their non-EBM expenses in the eTax system before 31st December 2025.

These are expenses that do not originate from an Electronic Billing Machine invoice, such as:

🔹 Payments made to public institutions
🔹 Transactions with farmers or non-registered individuals
🔹 Internal operational or financial charges
🔹 Year-end accounting adjustments
🔹 Services acquired and consumed outside Rwanda

✔️ What to do:
Review your 2025 expense records and make sure every qualifying Non-EBM item is properly entered in eTax in advance of the deadline. Accurate filing ensures compliance, avoids penalties, and keeps your books clean.

For assistance with reconciliations, reviews, or filing support, Zuki Consult CPAs is ready to help you stay fully compliant.
