According to Tambulasi, the media plays a critical role in promoting public awareness on taxation and encouraging citizens and businesses to comply with tax obligations.
The workshop focused on key taxation issues, including the Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) and Rental Income Tax, which are among reforms aimed at strengthening revenue collection and improving transparency.
ABJ National Coordinator Arthur Chokhotho commended MRA for partnering with business journalists, saying the training will help reporters stay updated on taxation matters and improve public understanding of tax policies.
Chokhotho said informed business journalists are essential in educating the public and the private sector on compliance and developments in the country’s tax system.
