The new deadline is set to 31st March 2021 instead of 31st December 2020.

The previous deadline had triggered mixed reactions whereby the general public requested extension citing economic shortfalls due to effects of COVID-19 pandemic and school reopening hat also required much expenses.

IGIHE has learnt that some people informed the City of Kigali that they couldn’t be able to make payments, hence requesting to exempt taxes.

In a statement released, RRA has reminded tax payers ‘to declare taxes early because tax payers have been facilitated to pay in four installments, effective from today.’

The statement further reads that ‘they can digitally declare and pay taxes,’ helping them to get fast service instead of queuing at local leaders’ offices.
