The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) recently engaged the National Executive Committee members of the Cross-border Traders Association of Malawi in Lilongwe. The meeting was as a result of previous consultative meetings that involved MRA, Ministry of Trade, Parliament and the Cross-border traders.
At one of such meetings, it was agreed that MRA should mount intensive awareness among cross border traders to fill the information, knowledge and skills gaps the traders have regarding the importation and exportation of goods.
Opening the meeting, Mc Hizzal Kawanga, Manager Taxpayer Education, applauded the good working relationship that existed between MRA and cross border traders in the country.
He added that MRA appreciates the contribution cross border traders make by paying taxes at the borders which has enabled the Government to provide various development projects and social facilities to the people of Malawi more particularly in rural areas.
