Kigali stakes claim as Africa’s tax tech hub with Madagascar deal

Rwanda and Madagascar have signed an agreement for the Indian Ocean island to adopt Kigali’s electronic tax invoicing technology, aiming to modernize tax administration and boost domestic revenue mobilization. The Rwanda Revenue Authority and Madagascar’s Directorate-General of Taxes agreed to deepen cooperation and exchange knowledge on electronic invoicing. Madagascar is drawing on Rwanda’s 13 years of experience in this area, where over 94% of VAT-registered taxpayers already use the system.
