Message of the Director General con'd...


1. To establish modern revenue assessment and collection system; and provide customers with equitable, efficient and quality service,
2. To cause taxpayers voluntarily discharge their tax obligations,
3. To enforce tax and customs laws by preventing and controlling contraband as well as tax Fraud and evasion,
4. To collect timely and effectively tax revenues generated by the economy;
5. To provide the necessary support to regions with a view to harmonizing federal and regional tax administration systems.
As part of a tool to meet its objectives, the Authority believes that information to educate and enlighten its public must be disseminated through website and other media. Many citizens in various parts of the country unconsciously aided and abetted the smugglers. Therefore providing abettors and potential smugglers with education is necessary to infuse in their hearts and minds the necessity for proper respect of the Authority’s law, and to let them stand against contraband. Such an effort is presently underway; as a result information regarding the Authority’s laws and regulations are partly made available on this website. This website has also contained the Authority’s background information, vision and mission statements, news and contact person addresses.
The information posted on our website has a considerable effect on the importers, exporters, taxpayers and other publics of the Authority. Therefore as a member of our public, you are advised to look into the information posted on this website or get yourself familiar with the laws of the Authority. The prior awareness of the tax and customs law or procedures helps to keep you from making mistakes especially unintentionally or in other words, it helps you to comply with tax and customs laws. What makes us most pleased is to see always our customers complying with the law. Compliant customers are always prudent and get themselves familiar with the laws and acts accordingly or deliver themselves from the serious penalties for failure to obey the law. This in turn enables the Authority to discharge its duty of collecting revenue effectively, to be successful in rendering service to its customer, and protecting the society from the possible danger that arises from smuggling.
This website, in addition to providing significant information, allows you to communicate with the Authority when you are unhappy with the Authority's service delivery or when you seek to give us a feedback which gives us an opportunity to overhaul our service delivery and to rectify it or to bring about such changes that would make it more efficient.
Finally let me express my hope that visitors/users will find the information posted on this website as a useful guide and reference to enhance their understanding of the newly established tax and customs administration system and use it as a vital tool in bridging the gap with the Authority

Thank you for visiting.


Melaku Fenta, Director General
