CostWhatever tax you owe. Late filing or payment brings penalties
What you need
- Your TIN and e-Tax password
- Your sales and expense records for the period
Steps
- On rra.gov.rw open the domestic tax declaration (e-Tax) section and log in with your TIN and password.
- Choose the tax (income tax, VAT, PAYE, withholding…) and the period, then start a new declaration.
- Fill it in and submit. The acknowledgment receipt shows the document ID and amount due.
- Pay before the deadline: MTN *182# → Pay Bill → RRA payment, then enter the reference from the receipt. Airtel Money, MobiCash and internet banking also work.
- Keep the receipt and payment SMS.
Tips
- Make sure your MoMo balance covers the tax plus transaction fees. Agents charge an extra service fee.
- Had no income this period? Ask RRA whether you still need to file a nil return. Don't just skip it.
- RRA's yearly Tax Handbook has step-by-step e-Tax walkthroughs.
