Africa-Press – Lesotho. THE Revenue Services Lesotho (RSL) says it is satisfied and impressed with how its E-Taxation and E-Payment platforms are working to simplify processes for its taxpayers.
The Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) was launched for the E-payment system following the deployment of E-payment and E-taxation platforms.
“The RSL clients enjoy real-time tracking on their filing status and payments which promotes transparency and trust for clients when they have access to up-to-date information about their tax obligations, eliminating uncertainties and potential delays,” the RSL said in a statement on Monday.
“The clients can file their tax returns such as Pay as You Earn (PAYE) and Value Added Tax (VAT) electronically, eliminating the need for cumbersome paperwork and reducing processing time,” the statement reads.
“The E-payment solution offers clients efficient payment solutions by allowing clients to settle their tax liabilities securely and conveniently using various digital payment options, such as online banking and mobile money.
The statement says this modernised approach simplifies the payment process and assists in the misallocation of payments and significantly reduces the need for physical visits to the RSL offices.
“The launch of the two solutions marks a significant milestone in the ongoing implementation of the Lesotho Tax Modernisation Project,” it reads.
“These cutting-edge digital solutions aim to streamline tax processes, enhance efficiency and improve service delivery for businesses and individuals across the country”.
The RSL says the introduction of the E-Taxation and E-Payment platforms is a testament to the RSL’s commitment to harnessing innovative technologies and transforming traditional tax administration systems.
This landmark project, it says, signifies a significant step forward in bringing convenience, transparency and ease of compliance to the tax paying community in Lesotho.
“The key benefits of the systems to the RLS client include Seamless Tax Filing,” it reads.
“The RSL is committed to ensuring a smooth transition to the new platforms and there is customer support available at the Contact Centre to assist clients with any queries, technical issues, or guidance required during the adoption of the E-Taxation and EPayment platforms.
The RSL says the implementation of these digital solutions is part of its broader vision for a modern, efficient and client-centric tax administration.
By leveraging technology, the RSL aims to create a system that fosters compliance, stimulates economic growth, and contributes to the overall development of Lesotho.
“The launch of the E-Taxation and E-Payment platforms showcases the RSL’s commitment to embracing digital transformation and aligning with international best practices,” the statement reads.
“The RSL is proud to provide Lesotho’s tax paying community with these state-of-the-art solutions, marking a new era in tax administration and service delivery.”
