Africa-Press – Mozambique. The Mozambique Tax Authority (AT) will start taxing digital transactions next year, with the aim of adapting the country to the new digital economy and increasing state revenue, Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance Carla Louveira has announced.
“Profound global changes present significant challenges to the national tax system, more precisely in the collection of transactions involving the sale of goods and services through digital means, that is, electronic commerce, especially mobile wallet operations and the tracking of internal and external transactions,” ‘Notícias’ quotes the deputy minister as saying.
Louveira said that “a pilot test on the control of online transactions in the tourism sector will be carried out next month”, the Tax Authority having created a Digital Economy Taxation Unit to drive developments forward.
“We live in an era of accelerated transformation in the sphere of information and communication technologies and in which the digital economy plays a central role,” Deputy Minister Louveira stressed.
