COLLECTION OF LEVY ON MEDIA STORAGE DEVICES

COLLECTION OF LEVY ON MEDIA STORAGE DEVICES

The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) and the Copyright Society of Malawi (COSOMA) are informing the business community and the general public that they will resume collection of a levy on media storage devices with effect from 1st February, 2020.


The levy was introduced on 15th April, 2019 but collections were suspended on 18th September, 2019 after some importers obtained a court order restraining MRA and COSOMA from collecting the levy. The resumption of the collection of the levy follows an amicable settlement of the court case. 

The levy on media storage devices, also known as Private Copy Levy, is  charged on purchases of recordable media as compensation to the rights holders for loss of income due to copyright infringements.
