Low-income earners, like primary school teacher Angelique Uwubuntu, will, starting this November, receive relatively higher pay as the government moves to enforce a relevant provision of the 2022 income tax law,that the current tax rates of 20 per cent levied on a monthly income of between Rwf60, 000 and Rwf100, 000 and 30 per cent for that of 100,000 and Rwf200, 000, were high, and were limiting low-income earners' ability to meet basic needs.
Uwubuntu said her salary is between Rwf100,000 and Rwf200,000 a month, and that the tax cut was necessary amid the rise in the cost of living which is the case today. This is in line with applying the law establishing taxes on income, which was enacted in October 2022 - especially a provision of Article 56.
