Did You Know? Household Staff Salaries Require PAYE and RSSB Declaration in Rwanda
Hiring a domestic worker, driver, gardener, nanny, cleaner, cook, or household security guard is often seen as a private arrangement. However, under Rwandan law, it
Starting a business in Rwanda is an achievement worth celebrating. But once the registration is done, the real work begins, and for many new business owners, the compliance side of things can feel overwhelming. What taxes do you owe? When are the deadlines? How do you actually use the RRA e-Tax portal?
That is exactly why Visions Africa launched Start Right Rwanda.
What is Start Right Rwanda?
Start Right Rwanda is a free, small-group information session designed specifically for newly registered companies in Rwanda. The goal is simple: help you understand your obligations from day one, so you are not caught off guard later.
This is not a sales pitch. It is a practical session where you get real information and real answers.
A look back at our May session
We held the first session on 29 May, and it was a lively one. Participants came with questions and left with answers. The room covered a lot of ground: VAT, PAYE, Withholding Tax, Corporate Income Tax, and RSSB contributions, including some of the compliance traps that catch businesses off guard more often than you would expect, such as misclassifying employees as consultants, overlooking the VAT reverse charge on imported services, or missing WHT on supplier payments.
The engagement was great, and it was a good reminder of just how much clarity a two-hour session can bring.
