Ending Customer Week on a grateful note
Customer Week is a good reminder of why we do this work. Behind every tax filing, payroll run and advisory project is a relationship built
In Rwanda, a ๐ฑ% ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐ is levied on goods imported for commercial use โ paid upfront at customs on the CIF value. But hereโs the catch: many companies never claim it back, even though theyโre entitled to!
Weโve seen this happen across industries โ businesses unknowingly leaving significant amounts unclaimed. If youโre one of them, youโre not alone, and weโre here to help.
Yes, claiming might trigger an audit. But letโs be honest โ waiting out of fear is never a winning strategy. A proactive approach not only helps recover your funds but also strengthens your compliance posture.
Your business earned it โ donโt leave it behind at the border.
๐ฉ Get in touch today to learn how you can start claiming your 5% withholding tax on imports.
Together, we can help recover whatโs yours and accelerate the growth of Rwandaโs economy.
