Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) will from May 1, 2022 start implementing a three percent Advanced Income Tax (AIT) on goods imported for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n

MRA\u2019s Deputy Commissioner of Customs and Exercise, Chimwemwe Kawalewale announced this on Tuesday during a press briefing saying that the AIT is aimed at bringing the informal sector into the tax net and enhance tax compliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMRA is implementing Advance Income Tax on imports to level the playing field and ensure that all businesses are paying their fair share of taxes due. For a very long time, MRA has been accused of not doing enough to bring the informal sector or \u2018brief case businesses\u2019 and that has put a lot of burden on few taxpayers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kawalewale said compliant registered taxpayers would not be subjected to AIT because they already have valid Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) or Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate(WHTEC) issued by MRA.<\/p>\n

Making a presentation on AIT, Taxpayer Education Manager, Mc Hizzal Kawanga, said apart from exempting imports by persons who have produced a valid WHTEC or TCC, imports by persons for personal use would not be subjected to AIT as well.<\/p>\n
