The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) warned Tuesday that it will not extend the deadline for the second installment of advance income tax for 2025, as half of the taxpayers had not filed by the Sept. 30 cutoff.
Jean Paulin Uwitonze, RRA’s Deputy Commissioner in charge of Taxpayer Services and Communication, said long queues were observed at tax offices across the country as many rushed to file at the last minute.
“People often wait until the very last minute to declare, which leads to long lines. At times, the system processes up to 50,000 declarations at once, causing technical challenges,” Uwitonze said.
He added that last-minute filers frequently require additional assistance, putting extra pressure on staff.
Uwitonze stressed that those who miss the deadline will face penalties. “For small taxpayers, a first-time non-declaration results in a Rwf 50,000 fine,” he said, adding that late payments incur interest charges in addition to fines.
The RRA continues to encourage taxpayers to use online platforms and file early to avoid last-minute congestion and ensure compliance.
