Taxpayers in Hoima City have been rallied to embrace the integrated revenue administration system (IRAS) if they are to witness improved service delivery and feel the impact of their taxes.
The call has been made by Mr. Adam Babale, the secretary of the Local Government Finance Commission in an exclusive interview with Spice FM. On Thursday, a team of the commission camped in Hoima City to train all Revenue Officers on effective administration and collection of taxes.
Babale warned that the City has lost a lot of revenue in terms of taxpayers collaborating with some officers responsible for collection of taxes, which in the end deny them services.
“All the monies that is required to be paid to Hoima City must be paid through the system called IRAS. Nobody should be told to pay money in cash but what is paid in cash does not reach the city offers and when tax payers do it, they should know this money is always stolen.
