Maintain a Clean Tax Record with Proper Filing Practices
Once your business is registered and active in Rwanda, staying tax compliant is critical. The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) provides modern digital systems for tax filing, but it is essential that businesses stay organized and timely with all submissions.
Key Compliance Obligations:
Monthly VAT Filing
VAT-registered businesses must file returns by the 15th of each month. Returns are submitted through the RRA e-filing portal, and Electronic Billing Machine (EBM) data must be included.
Quarterly Income Tax Prepayments
Businesses must estimate and pay corporate tax in advance every quarter (March, June, September, December).
Annual Corporate Tax Return
Due by March 31st of the following year. This includes final income declaration, audited financials (if applicable), and reconciliation of quarterly prepayments
Pay As You Earn (PAYE)
Employee income taxes must be deducted and paid monthly. Returns are due by the 15th of each month.
RSSB Contributions
Employers must register employees and submit monthly contributions to the Rwanda Social Security Board.
Withholding Tax Reporting
Any withholding taxes deducted (on services, dividends, or rent) must be declared and remitted monthly.
