According to information from the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), the proposal is currently in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning from where it will undergo several procedures before it can start to be implemented. “When you pay for services such as Netflix, you are using money that you have generated in Rwanda. So, we are asking, why don’t we collect VAT on these services yet they are being paid for by our citizens. If you pay 12 dollars a month for Netflix, why don’t we keep some of that amount at the source here?”
