The tax administration of the Sudan Founding Alliance government, led by the Rapid Support Forces, has announced the start of measures to reactivate tax revenues in areas under the alliance’s control by reopening tax offices across states and localities.
The announcement followed a meeting held Monday in Nyala, bringing together civil administration heads from South, East, West and Central Darfur, as well as West Kordofan, with Haroun Mahmoud Madikheir, the tax director appointed by founding government Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi.
Civil administration leaders at the meeting pledged to help reopen tax offices, hand over fixed and movable assets, and activate tax laws in areas controlled by the alliance.
Madikheir said in a brief press statement that reactivating tax revenues would help support the education, health and security sectors.
He added that the main structures of the general secretariat had been completed at the state and local levels and would be announced in the coming period.
The meeting also discussed mechanisms for allocating local and state revenues, as well as activating value-added tax, personal income tax and stamp duties, in addition to organising tax files.
