Africa-Press – South-Sudan. The National Revenue Authority (NRA) has announced record-breaking non-oil revenue collections for the month of April 2023.
The tax collectors said they managed to surpass last month’s target by slightly close to three billion pounds.
The NRA director general said they collected SSP 19.8 billion against a monthly target of SSP 17 billion.
The NRA attributes this success to the majority of citizens who have embraced their duty to pay taxes voluntarily.
In a statement, NRA Commissioner-General Patrick Mugoya urged those who have yet to comply with paying taxes to do so.
“The majority of our citizens are swiftly embracing their noble duty of paying taxes voluntarily…making gross non-oil revenue collections for April 2023 of SSP 19.8 billion exceed any monthly performance to date,” he said in a tweet.
He added: “I, therefore, call upon the remaining few non-compliant taxpayers to join the side of the majority before it gets too late and too bad.”
The NRA remains committed to facilitating compliant taxpayers while cracking down on non-compliant ones.
“Our determination to facilitate compliant taxpayers while thrashing out non-compliant ones remains as unshaken as it has always been,” Mugoya emphasized.
The record-breaking non-oil revenue collections for April 2023 represent a significant milestone for the NRA and for South Sudan’s economic target, where the monthly target was set at 17 billion South Sudanese pounds.
The success, according to Magoya, is a testament to the efforts of compliant taxpayers and the NRA’s commitment to enforcing tax compliance.
