BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS

BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS

The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) is warning the business community and the general public that they should be vigilant against some fraudsters who are impersonating themselves as MRA officials.

The fraudsters usually create panic by calling a taxpayer advising him/her that MRA officials are on their way to close their business due to unpaid tax debts. The fraudsters claim to possess some tax documents and demand payment of money from the taxpayer in order to avert the situation.

MRA is advising all taxpayers to neither comply with the fraudsters nor give them any money no matter the intimidation.

In this connection, we would like to remind the business community and the general public that MRA always uses formal communication channels to engage the taxpayer on tax arrears and not through social media or telephone as the conmen are doing.

Meanwhile, MRA is warning the perpetrators of this malpractice that the Authority is collaborating with law enforcement agents in the country to bring the culprits to book.

The Authority is, therefore, appealing to the business community and the general public that, should they come across any of these conmen, they should immediately report them by calling the following toll-free numbers: 847 or 672.

John S. Biziwick
COMMISSIONER GENERAL
