If I received a tax waiver because of COVID-19 hardships, what does the new announcement from RRA mean for me?

The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) released an announcement on August 21st, 2020, for those taxers who requested waivers of penalties, fines, and interest for late payment of Pay as You Earn (PAYE), VAT, and withholding tax (WHT) in March, April, and May 2020, as well as those who requested for Corporate Income Tax (CIT) for 2019.

In that announcement, RRA has stated that the due date for principal tax payments for those who requested waivers is no later than 30 September 2020.

So, if you are a taxpayer who has requested one of the waivers above, be sure to pay the principal taxes owed by 30 September 2020.

This is an important announcement, as those not having paid on time will be subject to all penalties, fines, and interest for the unpaid taxes. This will be an important part of planning your business finances this month.

You can visit the RRA website, rra.gov.rw, and the list of taxpayers, to check to make sure you are on RRA’s list.
