Put together with the domestic taxes led by Commissioner Chol Kur, we reported a gross of 132.6 billion SSP. I want to repeat this because people are misrepresenting us on social media.\u201d<\/p>\n The SSRA Commissioner General emphasized the landmark nature of this achievement, stating, \u201cThis is something that needs to be recorded, and it is a record that has never been done here in the Republic of South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n The March collection marks a substantial increase compared to the 17 billion SSP collected in January and the 34 billion SSP collected in February 2024.<\/p>\n The Revenue Authority chief attributed the increase in non-oil revenue collections to improved tax compliance, enhanced border monitoring, and stricter enforcement of customs regulations.<\/p>\n However, Akuei also expressed concern over the rising issue of smuggling along the border with Uganda, which poses a challenge to the authority\u2019s revenue collection efforts.<\/p>\n The SSNRA is expected to address these challenges with the continued implementation of improved tax strategies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Staff Writer South Sudan National Revenue Authority (SSNRA) has announced a record collection of 132.6 billion South Sudanese Pounds (SSP) in non-oil revenue for March 2025.
