The Kerala GST Department has implemented a new software called 'Kerala Indirect Tax Information System' (KITIS) for filing returns and making tax payments under legacy acts.

The KITIS software covers the Kerala Value Added Tax Act 2003, Kerala General Sales Tax Act 1963, and Central Sales Tax Act 1956.

The new KITIS software became operational with effect from August 1, 2024.

Returns and payments can be filed and made through the portal www.kitis.keralataxes.gov.in.
