Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has welcomed an 8-member delegation from the Malawi Revenue Authority for a five-day benchmarking visit on Digital Tax Stamps (DTS).
The benchmark, which started yesterday, saw the team learn about the key components of DTS, processes, implementation strategies, monitoring mechanisms, and enforcement procedures.
Bichetero Emmanuel, the Assistant Commissioner of the URA Tax Academy, lauded digital stamps as a key system that URA has leveraged in sealing revenue gaps.
“We think that this knowledge sharing will be mutually beneficial, as our digital tracking solutions have been instrumental in improving tax compliance and revenue collection,” he stated.
The URA team also shared their experiences, challenges, and successes in implementing the DTS, providing valuable lessons for the Malawian delegation.
Henry Ngutwa, the Deputy Commissioner General of the Malawi Revenue Authority, thanked URA for sharing their expertise.
The visit is expected to inform Malawi’s efforts to implement a similar digital tax system.
