The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) has set a central government revenue target of Frw 4.64 trillion for the 2026/2027 financial year, alongside a Frw 165 billion goal for other collections.
The agency unveiled the figures as part of a new Compliance Improvement Plan (CIP) designed to enhance tax administration and broaden the revenue base.
96 trillion, meaning the RRA must generate an additional Frw 680 billion to meet its new mandate.
Current tax collections stand at Frw 3.96 trillion, meaning the RRA must generate an additional Frw 680 billion to meet its new mandate.
The gap underscores the pressure on the authority to improve compliance rates and reduce the informal economy's footprint in the national accounts.
The move aligns with a broader trend across emerging African markets where revenue authorities are tightening enforcement to support fiscal consolidation.
Similar efforts have been observed in neighboring jurisdictions, including the Zanzibar Revenue Authority, which reported a 41% surge in collections for the 2025/26 period, and Fiji, which is on track to surpass its annual revenue targets.
