An eight-member delegation from Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) led by Commissioner General, Daniel Daka, has concluded a five-day benchmarking visit to Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), focusing on the Digital Tax Stamps (DTS) also known as Kalondola.
The delegation learnt about the key components, processes, implementation strategies, monitoring mechanisms, and enforcement procedures as well as URA’s experiences, challenges and successes in implementing the Kalondola Tax System.
Bichetero Emmanuel, the Assistant Commissioner of the URA Tax Academy, commended digital stamps as a critical system URA has utilised to close revenue gaps.
On his part, Henry Ngutwa, the Deputy Commissioner General of MRA, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn from URA’s expertise.
“We appreciate the insights and knowledge shared by URA, and we look forward to implementing similar solutions in Malawi,” Ngutwa said.
The benchmarking visit is a significant step in Malawi’s efforts to implement the Kalondola system to improve tax compliance and revenue collection.
