Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) has ordered businesses operating in buildings that are meant to be residential to start issuing Electronic Billing Machine (EBM) receipts. In contrast, landlords of such buildings have been mandated to register for Value Added Tax (VAT).<\/p>\n

An RRA official told The New Times that the move comes after the institution noticed many rented properties in Kigali and various parts of the country that are being used for business yet they are registered as residential properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou find a house that was built and registered as a residential property but is rented for use as a restaurant, NGO offices, or other income-generating activities,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

In a statement, RRA\u2019s Commissioner General Pascal Ruganintwali called on the landlords to register for VAT.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The New Times, RRA\u2019s Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Taxpayer Services and Communications Division Paulin Uwitonze, noted that as landlords register for VAT, they can take advantage of the voluntary disclosure incentives RRA avails.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to disclose the taxes they have not paid and benefit from the waivers of penalties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
